Tildesley Tournament
Tennis
Congratulations to Natalia (Year 12) who has been announced as our 2021 Tildesley Tennis Captain.
The Tildesley Tennis Shield competition is IGSSA’s longest running carnival. It was first held in 1918, with the now defunct Normanhurst School in Ashfield declared the champion school. Normanhurst had a very successful tennis program and by the 1920s had produced two of Australia’s most famous female tennis players. In 1918 the Headmistress of Normanhurst, Miss Evelyn Mary Tildesley (1882–1976) donated “a beautiful oak and bronze shield” for a tennis competition which encouraged team spirit among Sydney’s Protestant girls’ schools.
We wish Natalia and her Tennis Squad all the best at this year’s Tildesley Tournament on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 March 2021.
