Wednesday, 17th June saw the Yr 5/6 tennis team take part in the City of York finals competition at Wigginton Tennis Club. Ten teams from across York competed in two leagues, with the winners of each group playing a final to decide who would represent York in the North Yorkshire Youth Games.
The Fishergate team was comprised of Year 5 girls Hope Stenson and Phoebe Thomas, as well as Year 6 boys Jackson Goodfellow and Annerudh Ramikrishnan. Each player played 4 matches, with games being decided by the first player to reach 7 points. The cumulative score of each team was then calculated to decide finishing positions.
The team displayed some excellent tennis skills and sportsmanship, but just lacked a bit of consistency, eventually finishing in 4th place in their group. If any children wish to join a tennis club outside of school, Wigginton Tennis Club run children’s sessions on a Saturday morning.
