BNP Paribas RCS Rising Star tennis tournament

St Mary’s entered two teams of four Grade 6 girls in the first round of the Rising Star tournament. The tournament is a platform to develop junior tennis sponsored by BNP Paribas and endorsed by Kevin Anderson.

The two St Mary’s teams played some very competitive matches and ended 2nd and 3rd respectively. Well done to all the players and a special congratulations to the B team who played against A teams from other schools and finished 3rd overall. The A team lost in a tight match against Trinity House who were the overall winners.

St Mary’s A and Trinity House go through to play in the next round. We wish our players Moroesi Tuoane, Ilana Buck, Nicole Ledlie and Kathryn Franck every success in the next round.

Thank you to Rene Plant who is involved in the running of the tournament and made it possible for our girls to participate and gain valuable tennis experience.
