LISTON Seagulls have completed a clean sweep of the Asia Pacific Tennis League men’s regular season.
The Gulls head into the Victorian conference final as the No.1-ranked club on the back of five victories in five rounds.
Their reward for finishing on top of the ladder is questionable as they face the Kooyong Classics in the final at the Kooyong Tennis Club on Friday at 7pm. The Seagulls clinched their berth in the decider with a win over the Dingley Dingoes on Friday night.
They took five of the six rubbers, including straight sets wins to Matt Reid and James Lemke in the singles.
Top spot was settled on Sunday when the Seagulls swooped on a six rubbers to nil win over the Waverley Warriors.
