Tennis
Great achievement from the Year 8 and Year 9 tennis teams who both finished Runners Up in the Nicola Mabbit County Tennis Finals last week.
The Year 8s finished top of their group to reach the final and came up against a very strong Haberdashers team in the final. The girls played some great tennis and pushed Haberdashers all the way.
The Year 9s also topped their group and gave Parmiters a real fight in the final. It could have gone both ways with some really tight games and lovely tennis played.
The girls were a huge credit to themselves and to Presdales in a tough competition. Once again, it shows the depth and quality of our pupils who compete so well across a huge range of different sports.
Well done to all the girls. You were all star players!
