Last Saturday saw the Varsity tennis teams in action at the BMAC championship.
With SEASAC tennis happening for the first time since 2019, it is a perfect lead in event and gives players excellent matchplay and coaches a great opportunity to look at post Christmas form and also look at doubles permutations and singles strength.
The girls' event was a straightforward round robin group of 4 and saw due to the way the draw worked out opposition get stronger throughout the day.
RIS were easily despatched in the opening match and this was followed by a close but in the end comfortable win against NIST to set up a final match with ISB who had also won both their matches.
Although matches were tight the ISB girls were better on the day and defeated our team to claim the title leaving us as runners up.
The boys team were also joined by our JV team who had taken the place of STA who were a late withdrawal.
This event featured 6 teams in a knockout format.
The JV boys opened proceedings with a narrow win against RIS to set up a semi final with a very strong ISB team. The Varsity team had a later start as were drawn in their first match to play the winners of NIST and BKK Prep.
Both semi finals were very one sided with the Varsity boys defeating NIST 5-0 and ISB beating the JV boys by the same score line.
The final was no different as ISB showed their class and although our boys battled hard they were no real match and also took home the runners up trophy.
The JV boys however battled back really well to take down NIST 3-2 in the 3rd/4th play off to finish off in the 3rd which really was a fantastic result.
