Although tennis is not yet one of the major summer sports at Oswestry School, we are trying to build this up with the help of Mike Markham, a professional tennis coach.
Unfortunately, due to cricket and swimming commitments, we were not able to put out a boys' team but 2 x couples of girls went to the tournament at Ellesmere College.
Brooke Simons-Akwah and Charlotte Dingwall-Fordyce played as first couple. Charlotte's ground strokes were steady whilst Brooke's serve and volleying proved strong.
They won 1 set and lost 2.
Kristina Kingolts and Anya Shpilman played as second couple. Although they lost 3 sets, they played their best with Kristina putting in some good serves.
Oswestry finished 3rd against some strong opposition.
Well done girls.
