Tennis Report

The Firsts Tennis team went down 5-4 in their first loss of the season in a nail-biter against a strong King’s side. Taking a 2-1 lead following good doubles wins from the number 1 and 2 pairs, the team started the day strong. Despite two clinical singles performances from Felix Harrop and Ari Ganassin, some opportunities slipped through our fingers. However, the boys are determined to bounce back next week. The team plays Sydney Grammar this weekend at Northbridge in a crucial tie that has serious importance in their retention of the premiership.
