Highnam teams meet in the final at the Newent Tennis Festival

On Tuesday 21st June two teams took part in a tennis festival at Newent school. There were four players in each team and each pair had a boy and a girl player. The festival was organised by the Oxstalls Tennis Centre in association with the Tennis Foundation Schools initiative and six schools were taking part.

Redmarley, Huntley, Staunton and Corse, Churcham, Tibberton and Pauntley Primary Schools were all taking part alongside Highnam. At the end of the group stages Higham A (Matthew, Isabella, Alex and Charlotte) had won all their matches and went through to the final. Highnam B (Oliver, Isobelle, Harry and Tia) also performed well and went through to the final as well.

The final consisted of a match between Highnam A and Highnam B. After a close encounter Highnam B were the eventual champtions. Both teams will go on to represent the district, in the County final, at Oxtalls Tennis Centre next week.

Congratulations to all of the players for playing so well.
