Tennis

Well done to the girls who competed in the recent Nicola Mabbit Tennis Tournament at Queenswood. Presdales were represented at U13s, U14s and U16s after qualifying as District Champions in these age groups.

The girls played some magnificent tennis throughout the afternoon. Lots of super-close games that were decided on the smallest of margins.

The U13s finished 6th overall against some strong competition but they narrowly missed out in a number of their games.

The U14s finished 4th overall, again suffering a number of narrow defeats which went down to the wire with deciding game tiebreaks!

The U16s finished as deserved Winners losing only one game from the 8 matches played and dominating most of their matches with some fantastic tennis.

The entire team contributed and it’s difficult to pick anyone out specifically, however the Star Players were as follows:-

U13s – Ava McManus U14s – Chloe Pearce U16s – Ellen Beesley

Well done to all of the girls. Another example of the depth of sporting ability across multiple sports at Presdales!
