Scott Henderson and Noah Watson pulled out a key tiebreak victory over Perth's second couple to give Montrose the winning point.

The win means Montrose are now tied for second place on points in the First Division.

The second team beat West End 2 by 11-1, with Graeme Walker and Robin Kerr winning their four sets with the loss of just one game.

Andy Baxter and Callum Cooper won four sets with the loss of just eight games, while James Meredith and Simon Rolfe won three sets.

The third team won 8-4 at Anstruther, led by four sets from Chris Day and Richard Henderson.

Nick Wilson and Duncan Lyall won two sets, as did Alister Sievewright and Ian Matthews.

The ladies also were undefeated in their games last week.

The first team did not play, agreeing to reschedule their tie when Lundin Sports could not raise a team to travel north, but remain top of Division Two despite having a game in hand.

The second team drew 6-6 away against Perth 1, led by three sets from Evelyn Kerr and Lindsey Ward.

June Buchan and Bel Forbes won two sets and Linda Richardson and Za Powles contributed the set that ensured the draw.

The third team beat Arbroath 2 away by 10-2, with Rhona Alston and Jenny Munro winning four sets.

Kalpana Patel and Karen Copsey won three sets, as did Elena Shepeleva and Joan Middleton, who was making her debut for Montrose.

Montrose Tennis Club also hosted the Play Your Way to Wimbledon tournament last week.

It was won by Duncan Lyall and Elsie Elgin who will now go on to compete in a regional tournament.
