HBHS Tennis in National Competition
Last Thursday at the Waikato Tennis Centre the Senior Boys’ Tennis team won their way through to the Tennis Nationals and will represent the Tennis Waikato-Bays Region along with St. Peters from Cambridge.
The team played Napier Boys’ High School in the morning and put in a consistent team performance, winning the match 6-0. This meant that a win in the afternoon game against Tauranga Boys’ would guarantee a place at the Nationals. Although Adam Gage-Brown lost the No.1 singles match, Jake McCartney, Matthew Sheedy and James Southon all won their games, giving the team a 3-1 lead, heading into the doubles. The team only needed to win a set to qualify and this was achieved by Adam Gage-Brown, who teamed up with James Southon. Taylor McGuire and Jake McCartney also produced a sound doubles performance.
The team will represent the school for first time in the nationals to be held in Albany, March 28th-31st.
