The tournament took place over Easter at the Canberra Tennis Centre. Partnering with fellow Queenslander Kira Russell, the duo triumphed in a thrilling final against Sofia Haddock (South Australia) and Emily Liang (New South Wales), securing victory with a scoreline of 6-4, 5-7, 10-7

 

This national title underscores Iris's growing reputation in Australian junior tennis. Her success at the Claycourt Championships adds to her impressive record, which includes previous strong performances in regional and national competitions.​

 

The Australian Junior Claycourt Championships are a key event in Tennis Australia's player development pathway, offering young athletes the opportunity to compete on a national stage and gain valuable experience. ​

 

Iris's achievement at this prestigious tournament highlights her potential and dedication to the sport, marking her as a player to watch in the coming years. Congratulations Iris!

Inaugural Boys' Touch Football Team Finishes Runners-Up in Debut Season

 

In their debut season representing Clayfield College at the Arana Touch Football Association, the inaugural boys’ touch football team has made a statement, finishing runners-up in a competitive local competition that tested both skill and tenacity.

 

Despite an interrupted season marked by weather cancellations, the squad remained unwavering in their commitment to growth. Week after week, under the Wednesday night lights, they turned up with energy, focus, and a genuine love for the game. Their progress was evident with each outing improving structures, sharpening combinations, and building trust on and off the ball.

 

For many of the boys, it was their first competitive experience in touch football, yet they adapted quickly to the pace and tactical demands of the game. Their strong finish is a testament to their enthusiasm, and team-first mindset.

 

This is just the beginning for boys’ touch at Clayfield. With a solid foundation now in place, we look forward to expanding the program and seeing the boys take to the field again later this year faster, fitter, and even more fired up.

 

The future is bright, and so is the spirit that this team has ignited.
