S. Wensley

The Firsts couldn’t have finished their 2022-2023 season any better. The boys were relaxed in the warmup, with confidence that they could beat Sydney Boys High. This came to fruition in the doubles, where all three matches were won convincingly. A special mention to Sam Wensley. After 6 years of playing in the 1sts tennis for Shore he finished his last doubles match with a 6-0 6-0 win. In the singles, results were similar. The boys proved more consistent than the Sydney Boys High team and hence won every set of every match. With this 9-0 victory, the Shore team finished third. The Shore 1sts teams haven’t paralleled a result this strong in 8 years. This season the team showed their true potential by beating both schools that finished above them (Newington and Joeys). It is further impressive that 5 of the 6 players in the team have come through the Shore prep school, and been developed as tennis players the whole way.
