Congratulations to the Pymble Tennis Squad that competed at the Tildesley Shield last week. The Tildesley Shield was first held in 1918 and is the longest running girls’ sporting event in Australia. Our squad of 46 students represented the College at the event this year and achieved some amazing results. Pymble finished 2nd place in the overall point score, which is a fantastic result.

The highlight of the event was the incredible match played between Ashlee Narker from Pymble and Giselle Guillen from Meriden in the Singles Grand Final. Ashlee showed tremendous determination and courage to come back repeatedly, before finally winning the match in the tiebreak. A huge congratulations to Ashlee for taking out the singles title in this prestigious event. She is the first Pymble student to do so since Danielle Wagland in 2012.
