Tennis Gala Day

You are here

On a warm & overcast day, four brave girls and four brave boys boarded a bus headed for Wests tennis club.

The teams played a round robin competition against seven schools in the NASSA gala day.

The boys started strongly defeating Georges River Grammar. In the second round, against Macarthur Anglican College, they drew, but won on count back. In the third round they went down to St Luke's Grammar. Hence, the boys finished second in their pool and played Wollondilly Anglican College in the decider for overall third place. The boys played valiantly, however, after a whole day of tennis, unfortunately went down, finishing in fourth position.

The girls hard a tough first round playing The Illawarra Grammar School but bounced back in the second round to beat Wollondilly Anglican College. In the third round they went down in a tight match to Georges River Grammar so just missed out in playing the finals.

Both the girls and boys teams played with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship and represented the college well.

Well done to all the players involved: Ana, Emilia, Saniya, Zoe, Adrian, Robbie, Stevan and Sebastian.

Special mention to Daniel and Cooper who did a great job of umpiring all day in the heat.

A special mention also to Michael Fox and Daniel Mahoney for organising a great competition.
