Congratulations to all students who represented the school on Thursday 7 March at the Intermediate Tennis in Mickleham. Sets were played first to four games in both doubles and singles. The matches were tight all day against some very good opposition, but in the end wasn’t enough to get us through to the next round. Thanks to Mr De Grandi for his help on the day and well done to all the boys who played some great tennis.
