SOUTHERN METRO MIXED/BOYS HOT SHOT TENNIS NEWS!

Our grade 6 Hot Shots Tennis Team competed at the Southern Metro regional final on Wednesday 16th November in very trying conditions (rain and wind!) at Pakenham Regional Tennis Centre. 

The day consisted of many singles and doubles matches. Our students played against three other schools in their pool and won these rounds convincingly before playing Brighton Primary in the grand final.  They played so well in the final, winning many matches and claiming victory. The team is now through to the state final! 

Congratulations to our grade 6 mixed Hot Shots Tennis Team. We are very proud of your achievements!
