Wangaratta Blue claimed B Special 1, while Albury City Diggers snared B1.
Albury defeated Allambie Father and Son by three sets to love in the decider.
“Sean Pillay and Rob Cabion, they were down three-love in the final,” team-mate Ken Reid said.
“They then won eight-three, so they won eight games straight, and then were seven-love up, and they won eight-two, so they’ve won 15 games straight in the final which probably doesn’t happen too often.”
Reid didn’t contest the final, with Steve Smith and Paul Grover joining Cabion and Pillay.
