Balmacewen men remain unbeaten after three rounds of Dunedin premier men's tennis after beating Mornington-Roslyn Privateers 5-1 on Tuesday night.
The only point for Mornington-Roslyn came when Oliver Cuthill beat Conrad Wong 6-3, 6-4; while Hee Bum Chang, John Alexander and Matt White completed the other rubbers in straight sets.
Veteran Darryl Paterson put up a brave fight against Otago representative Dwayne Cleugh (Mornington-Roslyn Raiders), going down 7-6, 6-4.
Mike Smith and Campbell Hodgson got two back for St Clair but Nick Hume, called in as a late replacement, won the player of the day award for his 6-4, 6-3 win over Mayuresh Prasad and partnered Scott Campbell to a vital third-set doubles tie-break win to help the Raiders to a 4-2 win.
Eastern Harbour beat Taieri 4-2, but neither side was at full strength.
Brittany Wong and Jessie Stevenson (Balmacewen) claimed a clean sweep over Mornington-Roslyn, while St Clair beat Eastern Harbour 2-1 in the other women's match.
Sian English, fresh from her Otago junior title earlier in the day, pushed Southland No 1 Amy Mulvey to 7-6 in the first set before fading, but fellow junior rep Georgia Hume came through in the No 2 spot.
