The Firsts maintained their flawless start to the year, beating SIC 9-0 away from home. The boys played clinical doubles and took a commanding 3-0 lead, starting the day well. What followed was a resounding singles display, with only one set being dropped. Special mention goes to Josh Powell,<\/strong> who has lost five games over three singles matches this year and to Ari Ganassin<\/strong> for a convincing 6-1 6-1 victory. The team has started the second half of the season flawlessly, going 27-0 and giving Shore a commanding lead in the premiership table. The boys look to go to The King’s School on Saturday for a crucial match in deciding the team’s premiership fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oliver Wilcox<\/strong> The Third IV put on a dominant display, securing victories in both doubles and singles matches. George Storey<\/strong> and Archie Jones<\/strong> set the tone with a commanding 6-1 doubles win, followed by another solid 6-3 win from Oscar Chadban<\/strong> and Oliver Moufarrige<\/strong>. In singles, Storey, Chadban, and Moufarrige each secured 6-3 victories, while Jones fought hard for a 6-4 win, completing a clean sweep for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fourth IV continued the strong showing, with Daniel Burgess<\/strong> and Andrew Gilchrist<\/strong> winning their doubles match 6-3, while Austin Xu<\/strong> and Conrad Lo <\/strong>secured a 6-2 victory. In singles, Burgess battled to a 6-5 (7-4) win, Gilchrist won 6-3, and Xu dominated with a 6-0 victory. Conrad Lo faced a tough opponent and fell 2-6, but the team still secured an overall win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Seventh IV saw a mix of results, with Hugo Mason-Jones<\/strong> and Alexander Taubman<\/strong> narrowly losing 4-6 in doubles, while James Cochineas<\/strong> and Jayden Pan<\/strong> responded with a hard-fought 6-4 win. In singles, Mason-Jones impressed with a 6-0 victory, while Taubman edged out a 6-5 (7-5) win. Cochineas also secured a 6-4 win, and Pan closed out the day with a dominant 6-0 result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Eighth IV delivered a solid performance, with Qiming Niu<\/strong> and Mitch Bowen<\/strong> winning their doubles match 6-1 and Henry Marshall<\/strong> and Jaeyun Koh<\/strong> following up with a 6-3 win. In singles, Niu battled through a tight match for a 6-5 (7-5) victory, Bowen won 6-4, and Koh claimed a 6-2 win. Marshall faced a tough challenge and lost 3-6, but the team still walked away with an overall victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n George Story<\/strong> Our doubles were quite forgetful, but redemption was in the singles. Ziheng Wang<\/strong> played smart tennis, way above his age. Benjamin Pan<\/strong> was consistent with a rocket-like forehand. Alexander Warren<\/strong> played some great tennis and was unlucky not to come home with the silverware, while Henry Brieger<\/strong> played his best tennis to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, it was the curse of the doubles, but there was some solid play. Well done to Edward Perham<\/strong> for playing his first-ever competition game. Alex Kirkwood<\/strong> dominated in his singles. Hugh Young<\/strong> and Thomas Coleman<\/strong> were slow in the doubles but ripped into their singles. Thomas\u2019 match saw some of the longest rallies I have seen in schoolboy tennis. One rally was over 50 shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nathanial Lam<\/strong> was dynamic with his serving, often putting his opponent in two minds due to the pace of the ball. Kerian Yan<\/strong> had some moments of brilliance, and Daniel Jin<\/strong> had a strong forehand from the baseline, winning many points in his singles hit out. Tom Rose<\/strong> had a strong game, narrowly losing his set to a tough Riverview opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lachlon Wang<\/strong> did well to win his singles after many long games, which demonstrated his endurance to tough it out and not give up. Collin Yu<\/strong> and Jack Hersey<\/strong> missed out on a win but played some great tennis. Thank you to Koji Takamura<\/strong>, who stepped up late on Friday afternoon and didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well done U13s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Junee and Mr Winters<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday 15 February 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[24],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-23821","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\/23821","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=23821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=23821"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=23821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
