Girls' Tennis v Haileybury

Tuesday 14th May 2013
U13 6 pairs and U12 6 pairs Tennis V Haileybury

Yesterday 24 tennis players played at Haileybury School. For many, it was their first such experience. I was proud to see them knocking up, selecting service, calling the score and shaking hands; all evidence of lesson material! A variety of serves, volleys and ground strokes were also seen in the matches. The servers were also confident in calling the score and all players understood their responsibility for calling 'out' WOW.

The U12s won by 28 games to 23 with Helena S and Hannah S adding to the total really well with a 7-1 victory. Lucy B, Olivia S, Issy B and Amber A also achieved good results.

The U13s were led very well by Georgie B and Rebecca E. Scarlet C and Layah M also gave a good account of themselves.

A thoroughly good day's play and a worthwhile experience particularly for those new to tennis matches.
