In a further update we are delighted to hear that Maya (Yr7) competed in the England Squash Junior
Intercounties Championships, in a team representing Surrey in the
GU13s finals.
The matches came down to a decider which was a tense affair, against Wales. Maya was 2-0 up, and got to Championship ball, but wasn't able to close it out (they play best of 5). The Welsh competitor then won the 4th game so it all came down to the 5th and last game. Maya picked herself up and won that 11-6, a great result!
We are delighted to learn that Alisa (Yr7) played in a few tennis tournaments during the Easter Holidays. She and her doubles partner won U16 doubles (Westside
Open, Grade 3), Alisa was a finalist U14 singles (Westside Open, G3) and
finalist U16 doubles (Sutton Tennis Academy, Grade 3). Many congratulations on your achievements!
The Wimbledon High tennis squad came out victorious at Tiffin Girls School yesterday evening as Kiana and Rochelle O, Alisa N and Amelie S represented the school, winning 10-2 in the LTA Youth Schools Aberdare Cup.
Some convincing singles and doubles scores have put the squad into the 3rd round of the national competition. Well done girls! We have yet to find out who are opponents are in the next round.
The U18 Tennis Team had a fantastic opening match of the season where they played Kings College School in the Aberdare National Cup on Wednesday 20th March and won, qualifying for the next round at the start of the Summer Term. Thank you to KCS for hosting us.
The match ended with 4-3, to Kingston Grammar School. Although we lost, everyone tried their hardest.
The game started off evenly, with shots at the goal from both teams, none of which succeeded. Eventually, Wimbledon’s forward scored, bringing the score to 1-0, to Wimbledon. A few more shots at the Wimbledon goal brought the score to 1-1. The game suddenly intensified, both teams determined to have the lead by half-time. Once again, Wimbledon’s forward got past the Kingston goalie, and Wimbledon were in the lead 2-1. Kingston were desperately hitting at the Wimbledon goal until they evened out the score. 2-2 at half time!
