On Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 March, SCEGGS Tennis competed in the 103^rd Tildesley Shield where we had 15 players represent the school. Well done to all players, who performed brilliantly across the two days.

Tildesley Shield Team for 2023

Four of our seven singles players progressed to the second round, three of our four doubles pairs progressed into the second round. Some highlights of the tournament included: 

• Bridget Murray reaching the singles fourth round before being defeated by a strong Meriden player.
• Vivienne Henry and Madeleine Phillips reaching the fourth round of the doubles draw. 
• Alathea Hutley and Pippa Brenner reaching the doubles fifth round before being defeated by a team from Meriden.  

Our SCEGGS team achieved 14^th in the overall competition – an incredible achievement! Thank you to all players and coaches who have spent the past two terms preparing for this highly competitive tournament; the hard work paid off. And thank you to all spectators who attended throughout the tournament to support the team. The atmosphere created from the chants was electrifying.
