Tennis - Term 4 Round up

The Senior Tennis team got off to a flying start in Round 1 of the LTA Schools National Cup by beating Kings Canterbury 4-2. Scores in the singles meant that we went in to the doubles matches at two apiece.

#1 Rhys Gula: Lost- 4/6 (6)6/7; #2 Jack Robertson: Won- 6/3 6/0; #3 Elias Jivraj: Won- 6/0 6/4; #4 Alex Dumitru: Lost 2/6 5/7; #5 Oliver Bollingbrook (reserve) The team then went on to win the doubles 6/3, 6/4 and 6/4, 6/3. Well done to the five boys involved and a huge thank you to Gravesham Tennis Club for allowing us to host the event there. We are starting to build some excellent links with the club and we hope to be able to guide as many students as possible to take up tennis.

Jack and Rhys represented the school in the Kent Schools Doubles Championships on Tuesday 25th March. Huge congratulations to them both for coming 4th in the Kent Schools Doubles Tennis Championships. 25 teams competed across 12 schools. Gravesend Grammar and Skinners School were the only two state schools competing. We would like to extend our congratulations to Skinners(1) who won the Competition. We will be playing Skinners in the next round of the National Cup.
