Coach: Miss Poppy Hoskins The Yearlings B team developed an enormous amount this term. Happily, all the girls had a chance to represent College in fixtures and a number also played in the A squad, as well for a few matches. They played with determination and wanted to win everything. They started the season with three very clear wins over Bromsgrove School (8-1), Bloxham School (9-0) and Cheltenham Ladies’ College (9-0). Clifton College put up a good fight just before the Half Term holiday but, despite a few lapses of concentration, the girls powered through to win 7-2. Unfortunately, the toughest opponents were yet to come and the team was unable to stand up to a very tough Malvern College side (0-9), Rugby School (2-7) or Marlborough College (1-8). Most Improved Player went to Beth Jenkins as her effort during training cannot be faulted and she listened well to advice and took it on board wherever possible. Player of the Season went to Sanaya Gheewala; not only a fantastic captain, leading by example to her teammates, but also a very consistent and driven player, who was never over-faced by the opposition. This squad have been amazing to coach and I wish them every success for the future.

were able to put a C and D team out every week for a fixture. It was very difficult not to select any of the girls when there was only a C team match but they all understood that I wanted to keep moving them around so that they all got the opportunity to represent the school at tennis. Comfortably winning all five games, the C Team had a great start to the season and all girls contributed to the successful performance. The D Team unfortunately had one match out of the four cancelled. However, a convincing 8- 1 win over Malvern College gave them a boost and demonstrated their hard work in training and how much they improved. It has been an enjoyable, albeit wet tennis season and I know the girls were thrilled when they could play. Thanks must go to Giles Elliot for coaching the girls this season. The girls have enjoyed the sessions and improved significantly from beginning to end.
