Tennis Tournament

What a great turnout we had for our Heaton Tennis Tournament! Despite the rain, we had some high-quality tennis and some competitive matches. A highlight was seeing our more experienced players supporting and guiding our players who were new to tennis. Well done and congratulations to all participants for showing fantastic sportsmanship, support and respect. A big thank you to Elmwood Tennis Club for hosting and supporting this fabulous event.

  • Our female champion this year was Tessa Meng (Room 15) in a tightly contested final against Lily Doyle (Room 20). Third place went to Stella Brown.
  • Oliver Parnham (Room 12) took out our open-grade tournament this year with a roughly fought final against Ruben Hartland (Room 9).
