There was much success to celebrate during an historic week in the ISTA Championships at Eton early in July.
The Senior boys’ team of Jack (C), William (D), Tom (D) and Thomas (H) recorded victories against Eton, Reeds and Ewell Castle on their way to securing the Youll Cup for Bradfield for the first time in the competition’s 75-year history.
The Senior pairing of Pippa (M) and Charlotte (M) won the Loveband Plate for U19 girls with teammates Zahra (I) and Tina (J) runners up in the Loveband Shield meaning they also finished 6th overall at the ISTA Championships.
The future of tennis also looks promising as the Shell boys’ pair of Max (H) and Freddie (G) won the Springthorpe Cup U15 consolation trophy, Faulkner’s girls Tilly (LI) and Alice (LM) reached the semi-finals of the Asbury Bailey consolation event and Faulkner’s boys’ Harry (LE) and Douglas (LC), also reached the semi-finals of the Thomas Bowl Shield.
Fresh from their Youll Cup success and off the back of consistently high-level performances all year, Tom (D) and Jack (C) represented the Independent Schools Tennis Association in their fixture against the All England Lawn Tennis Club which took place at Wimbledon in July.
Our outgoing girls’ Captain, Tina (J), who secured a Scholarship to attend Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania, was also called up as a team reserve; a fine way to conclude an historic season for Bradfield tennis.
