On the 3rd July WHS Tennis Team welcomed the U18 Rhenish Girls High School in Stellenbosch. All girls had a wonderful afternoon and played some outstanding Tennis both with and against the visiting School. Above all it was so special to see them sharing stories and experiences from their respective country and schools. We wish them the best for the rest of their tour.
Many congratulations to Nicole and her Eagles netball team on winning the Elite 8 Sistersnsport U13 National Cup. Playing Grangetown, Leeds and Turnford teams to come out with the win.
Congratulations from us all at WHS!
Farrah and her U17 Eagles team made it through to the Sisters n Sport Club Cup final weekend. They played Bury in the quarter finals, and while the game started as quite close, Eagles pulled away and won by a comfortable margin. They then played Poole in the semi-finals; a team comprised of several England pathway players. The teams were drawing for the majority of the game, until Eagles managed to take a three-goal lead and win the game.
They played Turnford in the finals, who they unfortunately lost to, but it was a fantastic effort by all regardless, to take 2nd place at a National Competition.
'The Wimbledon rowing team had a busy and successful weekend! With
senior rowers competing at Henley Women's Regatta and J13s-J15s racing at the
Thames Valley Park Regatta. On Saturday at Henley Women's, both a senior four
and a J16 crew participated in time trials to qualify for the knockout stages.
While the senior four narrowly missed advancing, the J16 crew excelled,
securing a spot in the top 8 out of 22 crews and advancing to the quarterfinals,
where they came from behind to reach the semi-finals on Sunday afternoon.
Despite a strong effort, they just missed out on reaching the finals.
Meanwhile, at the Thames Valley Park Regatta on Sunday, the J13 and J14 crews
showcased fast racing in coxed quads, with some J14 rowers stepping up to join
the J15s in racing two octos, one of which won their final. Additionally, the
J15s delivered stellar performances in the coxed four. Congratulations to all
the rowers for their dedication and hard work!'
We were delighted to learn that Issy (Yr8) won the U14 Girls Singles Roehampton Club Championships at the weekend taking the final 6-2, 6-4. A fantastic experience for Issy on beautiful grass courts.
Congratulations Issy!
