SCHOOL SPORTS VICTORIA - LODDON MALLEE REGIONAL FINAL

Junior Boys Tennis

On Tuesday 28 April, the Junior Boys Tennis team competed in the Loddon Mallee Regional Finals in Mildura. The team consisted of Xavier Tyrrell, Tomás Dunne, Liam Carter and Judd Bremner.

After travelling up the night before, the boys faced last year’s champions, St Joseph’s College Echuca, in their opening match. The contest was close, with our team narrowly defeated 17-14. Xavier (4–1) and Tomás (4–0) both won their singles matches. The doubles were tightly contested, with both pairs going down in close matches. There were plenty of skilful rallies and the team competed well throughout.

The second round of matches proved more successful, with the boys recording a strong 22–9 win. Xavier (4–1) and Judd (4–0) were successful in their singles, while both doubles pairs secured convincing victories.

At the end of the day, the team finished in second place, just four games behind first. This was a pleasing result against strong competition.

The boys should be proud of their efforts. They competed with great spirit and represented the College in a positive manner. Thank you to the parents for their support and for making the long trip to and from Mildura.
