IN an early preview of a possible section-one finals clash this season top side Narre Warren North downed challenger Narre Warren Gold in an exciting round five clash on Saturday.
The final margin was two sets, but only two games separated the sides during the afternoon and both teams looked serious chances to win the pennant.
Narre Warren Green moved to second position in the top section with a solid win over Pakenham, while Beaconsfield had a big victory over Harkaway.
The singles playing order will be fixed from the next match onwards so clubs must register any changes to their order by next weekend.
