The Broken Bay Tennis Gala Day, was held at the picturesque Oxford Falls on Tuesday, 26 November, and proved to be an exciting and competitive event for our St Edward’s tennis teams. Two teams from our school participated: the Senior Boys team, made up of Years 9 and 10 students, and the Junior Boys team, composed of Years 7 and 8 students. Both teams performed exceptionally well throughout the day, demonstrating skill, sportsmanship, and determination despite the exceptional heat.
Senior Boys Team – Years 9 and 10 (Jacob Barrington, Harrison Evans, Benjamin Malek)
The Senior Boys team faced a strong field of competitors but managed to secure an impressive third-place finish overall. Their hard work and dedication throughout the day were evident as they battled through each round with resilience. They played with exceptional teamwork, and their positive attitude shone through even in the most challenging matches.
Junior Boys Team – Years 7 and 8 (Patrick Vince, Joseph Kelleher, Noah Malek, Elijah Stanley)
Similarly, the Junior Boys team showed great promise and spirit, coming in third place in their division. The players displayed excellent sportsmanship and a strong will to succeed, pushing through difficult matches with focus and determination. Their collaboration and support for one another on and off the court were key to their success.
A special thank you must be extended to our reserve players, who stepped in at the last moment to ensure that both teams had the necessary strength and depth. These players showcased exceptional adaptability and were integral in ensuring that both teams could compete at their best. Their willingness to step up at short notice demonstrated true team spirit, and we are incredibly grateful for their contribution.
The Broken Bay Tennis Gala Day was a memorable and successful event for our school. Both the Senior and Junior Boys teams should be proud of their performances, as their third-place finishes reflect the hard work and commitment they have put into their training. St Edward’s is fortunate to have such a dedicated group of players who continue to represent the school with pride and enthusiasm. We look forward to more great achievements in the future!
Well done, boys!
