Last week, Shore\u2019s Firsts tennis team played St Joseph\u2019s College (Joeys). Unfortunately, Shore landed on the wrong side of many close matches, resulting in a 5 – 4 defeat. A standout player was Harper C,<\/strong> who fought back from one set down to overcome a talented player and win 4 – 6, 6 – 0 and 6 – 2. Harper represented his School well, and despite a lack of energy from the whole team, he brought Shore a much-needed win for the day. There are many things we can learn from this loss, and as a team, we must adapt and finish our season strong. Despite this loss, Shore remains in the lead of the competition by 6 points with four matches left in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zachary L<\/strong> On Saturday, in a long-awaited rematch, the Seconds played an eager Joeys side with great success, winning 9 – 0 and securing a consecutive bagel round. A decisive doubles win from Connor F<\/strong> and Chris M<\/strong>, winning 6 – 1, 6 – 0, set the tone for the day, one where no free points were awarded to the opposition. Another doubles win in a similar fashion from the Ollies, Connor B<\/strong> and Oliver D-K<\/strong>, helped to create an early leg forward. The real highlight, however, was George G<\/strong> and Charlie M<\/strong> coming out victorious in a nail biting, closely contested battle, with a beautifully sculpted point ending in a tube-smash winning the super tie-breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following on from this in the singles was Connor F,<\/strong> who led a dominant display, winning 6 – 0, 6 – 1. In a similar vein, Mr Captain showed his years producing a 6 – 0, 6 – 0 victory, his first for over two years. Similar wins from Ollie C B <\/strong>winning 6-0, 6-0 and Ollie D-K<\/strong> and Charlie M<\/strong> capitalised on the lead set in the doubles. Player of the day goes to George G,<\/strong> who fought arguably the toughest opponent of the day, playing the tennis of his life, winning 6 – 4, 6 – 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst we are top of the table, our adversary The King\u2019s School is close, only half a point behind. We must continue this kind of display if we are to obtain the glory that awaits the team who hoist the victory cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris M<\/strong> Round 10 \u2013 St Joseph\u2019s College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8539,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[24],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15965","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/15965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=15965"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=15965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
