The Junior Tennis Championships took place at Wilding Park last week, 22 and 23 November.

Our school had six players involved over the two age groups:  Jenna Russell, Casi Marchis and Charlotte Bealing contested the Year 9 singles competition, and Jenna and Casi combined in the Year 9 Division 2 doubles. Caitlin Yee, Olivia Helmore and Claudia Russell were in the Year 10 singles draw and Caitlin, Charlotte, Claudia and Olivia were part of the Year 10 doubles competition.

Results:

Olivia Helmore - Winner Year 10 Division 2 Singles

Claudia Russell - Winner Year 10 Division 2 Singles Consolation

Casi Marchis - Winner Year 9 Division 2 Singles

Jenna Russell - Runner Up Year 9 Division 2 Singles

Caitlin Yee and Charlotte Bealing were in the main singles draw for Year 10 and Year 9 respectively.

They played well against some strong junior tennis players. The tournament was a very good experience for our players, and it was great to see them representing Christchurch Girls’ High School /Te Kura o Hine Waiora with pride.
