Tennis

On the Tuesday before half -term, the U13 Tennis team played against Loughborough High School and drew the match. A special mention must go to Daisy Reddin, Molly Hunt and Olivia Monkhouse who agreed to play with little notice due to unavailability of other players. The girls played their single matches first displaying some excellent tennis, with Daisy Reddin and Georgie Daynes winning 6 – 3 and 7 – 5 respectfully,  and Molly Hunt and Olivia Monkhouse narrowly losing 7 -5 and 7 – 6. The girls should be very pleased with their performance against a strong Loughborough side.
