ACC Tennis

During a year in which all forms of sport have been heavily impacted it was great for our squad to experience some normality in the form of a complete ACC tennis season. Additionally, whilst a semi final exit may appear dissapointing on the surface, upon reflection the squad can hold their heads high for a season mostly well played against solid opposition.

ACC Tennis has always provided a fantastic opportunity to represent the College, and just like the years prior, this group showed great commitment. It was fantastic to see the squad enjoying playing the game, whilst maintaining a competitive attitude toward every opponent. Performances such as the narrow two game victory against Parade (72-70) in a match that finished tied on sets (6-6) reflected our attitude perfectly. Through maintaining this run our squad was able to finish with four wins and no losses to our name heading into our semi final. However, whilst results are fantastic, it is arguably even better to see dedication from players looking to represent the College, their teammates and themselves with pride.

From both a personal perspective along with the rest of the Year 12 players in the group we would like to thank Mr May for his awesome commitment and dedication toward the squad over the years. From Year 7 all the way to Year 12 the organisation of squads along with continuous bus driving duties has not gone unappreciated by the group.

Ultimately, whilst we Year 12 tennis players may leave Mazenod having never been ACC champions, I am more than confident that next year’s squad consisting of the current Year 11 and 10 students will be more than capable of great performances.
