Grass greener for Central

Club tennis returned to the Chelmer St grass courts on Saturday.

Oamaru Central picked up their first win of the campaign and Hampden downed Weston in a clash that produced a mixed bag of results.

Weston's Albert Hailes said he was happy with how his team performed despite the loss.

"We were pretty good, we were missing some players which made it difficult," he said.

"I'm just working to get my touch back, I didn't play much throughout winter."
