14 February 2025 | Tennis Victoria

As the curtain closes on another Country Week, we want to take a moment to reflect on the week that was. We are incredibly grateful to Swan Hill Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for hosting a successful week of tennis, fun, friendships and many laughs. Tennis Victoria Country Week 2025 brought together people from all across the state, and country. Competitors travelled far and wide to come to the event, including from Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Camden, Bathurst, Narromine, Merimbula, Devonport, Albury and even Brisbane, to name a few locations.

On the final day, there could be only 28 winners.

The Lecontes lost their two-year winning streak in the Men’s Section 1 Grand Final to Espresso Martinis, while Tandara nabbed first place as winners of the Women’s Section 1 Grand Final, defeating Goulburn Murray Grinders.

Tonny Try Hards were crowned winners of the Gilchrist Pearce Cup, an award nominated by the Country Week players for any team across the tournament who have exemplified the spirit of Country Week.
