Thursday 9th June 2016 Tennis Quater Finals - DGGS vs Bromley High
|
All four students were fantastic. We knew it would be a very strong team that came to our school to play us as Bromley High have an excellent tennis reputation. Maya and Ola were playing up an age category in order for us to have a particularly strong team as well. Aanu and Maya won their singles matches 6-1 and 6-2 respectively, both demonstrating some excellent serving and groundstrokes. It was very exciting as after the singles it was 2 matches each so it all came down to the doubles. Maya and Ola paired up and showed some good consistency with their hitting, but unfortunately lost their match. Therefore it all came down to the last doubles match. Molly and Aanu illustrated good team work and vollies and some of their rallies were excellent. Unfortunately they lost their match 4-6, which put Bromley High through to the semi finals by 4 matches to 2.
As a school we are very proud of all four students and thank them for doing their very best whilst representing the school.
