Tennis Teams Shine at Regional Finals

SCHOOL SPORT VICTORIA – LODDON MALLEE REGIONAL TENNIS

Year 7 Boys, Year 8 Boys, Intermediate Girls

On Tuesday 2 May, the Loddon Mallee Regional Tennis Final was held at the recently reopened Mildura Tennis Courts which had been affected by flooding. The event attracted schools from across the region and required an early start for our team who departed Bendigo at 4:00 am with a 4.5-hour drive each way.

The Year 8 Boys put in a solid effort and finished in third place, with some impressive performances by individual players. The Intermediate Girls also performed admirably and were runners-up, showcasing their skills on the court.

However, the highlight of the tournament was the Year 7 Boys team’s fantastic performance, winning the tournament and securing their place in the School Sports Victoria State Final in Brighton on 17 November 2023. The team’s consistent performances throughout the tournament and ability to work together as a cohesive unit earned them this well-deserved victory.

The team’s success would not have been possible without the backing of their teachers, parents, and supporters. Special thanks go to Ms Jocelyn Leversha for attending and supporting the team. The parents who attended and cheered on the team also deserve recognition for their contribution to the team’s morale and success.

The Loddon Mallee Regional Tennis Final was a successful event, with the Loddon Mallee teams showcasing their skills and sportsmanship on the court. Congratulations to all the teams that participated, and best of luck to the Year 7 Boys team as they move forward to the State Final in November.

TEAM: Charlie Dickins, Isabella Monotti, Gen Nihill, Meg O’Callaghan, Chris Gamboa, Samantha Hill, Harry Morrish, Carlo Gamboa, Miller Evans, Caleb Pellegrino, Mitchell Bray, Maurice Nihill
