Round 4 Report – Sydney Boys High School

Firsts Report

Shore’s First’s tennis team secured 9-0 victory against Sydney Boys High School (SBHS) despite threatening weather conditions. The persistent rain early in the afternoon did little to dampen the hunger of our boys to dominate their opponents in all matches. With such a strong score, our team is now leading the competition in both Firsts and Seconds. Ollie W, the team’s Number 1 player, lead from the front with a clinical 6-0, 6-0 win in just 35 minutes while our youngest player Harper C showed great maturity with a strong 6-0, 6-1 victory. This dominant victory, achieved under the pressures of expectation, sets a precedent for future matches as well as the sportsmanship and determination for boys in every team at Shore.

Last weeks’ Shore vs Joeys match report

In a contest with the defending premiers, Joey’s, Shore emerged victorious with a final score of 6-3. Outstanding individual performances backed up with tight-knit doubles pairings ensured not only a victory but a statement of our potential this season. Ari C endured a tough singles match long enough for his opponent to default in the final set. Harper C and Josh P also shone by coming from a set down to reach one set all, eventually winning the match in a thrilling 10-8 super tiebreak. Shore’s victory showcased their talent, resilience, and team spirit, making it a memorable day for the team and their supporters.

Seconds Report

In a well-mannered, dominant display, the Seconds triumphed over Sydney High with a decisive 9-0 victory. The rain couldn’t stop us, with a team squeegee effort enabling us to play. With matches only starting at 2.30pm pace was key, with three aggressive doubles matches played, and won, within a short time, setting the tone for the day.

A highlight was George G and Charlie M playing some of the most aggressive doubles seconds tennis has seen. The singles matches featured stellar performances from Oli D who played an aggressive match of singles, winning in only 45 minutes! Standout was Charlie M stealing a double bagel – an emphatic 6-0, 6-0 victory. We are at the sunrise of a new second’s tennis era with a foot at the top of the ladder and an eye on the premiership.

U16s Report

This weekend the U16s tennis played against the tough opponents SBHS. Overall, most teams got one or two wins each, but Shore did not go down without a fight. The A1 doubles Chris H and Lachie A ended with a 5-7 loss after having fought majority of their games into deuce reflecting how the doubles games went for all the teams. The U16s As and Bs had a couple singles games cancelled as they went overtime due to rain causing a 20-minute break. Even with the overall loss, the boys stayed optimistic and made the most of the time playing at SBHS and are looking forward to winning next week.
