TIS Tennis Champs

Boys and Girls Tennis Singles Champs were held on Tuesday 26th March, a fabulous, hot sunny day on our school turf.  This year we had good entries in the boys with 20 competitors and only 4 entries in the girls.  

The Boys Singles final was a thriller with Taylor Bettelheim Rm 17 beating Anthony Ouellet Rm 15 9/7 in a very close match. Playing off for 3rd and 4th Ethan Larsen Rm 13 beat Marcel Collett Rm 19 9/2.

In the Girls Singles the top seed Kalais Going  Rm 2 had a comfortable win against Caitlin Burns Rm 19 9/2 in the final.  Grace Ede Rm 19 placed third after Jessica Cox Rm 42 defaulted with injury. 

I would like to congratulate all the players in this tournament for their excellent sportsmanship, acknowledging their opposition’s good play.  The top three place-getters will receive medals and a trophy for the winner at our end of year Sports Prizegiving.
