The last interhouse sporting (and arguably most important) event of the year, SCEGGS Inter-House Tennis was held last Tuesday morning. The best of 5 doubles style matches were accompanied by numerous students participating and displaying their house spirit. And of course a variety of baked goods on the side. A special thank you to both Mrs Joukhadar and Miss Tucker and all the tennis coaches whose organisation allowed for a seamlessly run morning.

Term 4 has seen the summer of tennis resume within the SCEGGS community! Tennis at SCEGGS offers all players a physical challenge while simultaneously providing the chance to turn teammates into lifelong friendships. Speaking from experience I have developed within myself because of the opportunities I have had with tennis both on the court and through the connections I have sought out with the other players. The connectivity and encouragement across year groups has built a healthy positive culture which is beneficial to all players and motivates all to give their best for themselves and the school. Another beauty of our tennis community is that it extends to families, friends and pets who come together to watch on Saturday matches.

So far this term all teams have been playing exceptionally well every Saturday morning and at their respective training sessions. Improvement and enthusiasm have been seen at all IPSHA, IGSA and Tildesley trainings where all teams are making amazing plays. Importantly, spirits have been high at Tildesley training as we are all working hard to one up last year’s overall 13^th position!

It has been great to see each player enjoy themselves and they should all be proud of their efforts so far this season.
