Following their recent win in the Royston and Villages Tennis Tournament, four pupils from Tannery Drift represented the school (and town) in the Hertfordshire Schools Tennis Finals in Welwyn.

The children arrived for the day well-prepared and eager to compete, and were welcomed warmly with congratulations on the amazing achievement of progressing to this stage of the tournament.

The schools were split into 2 pools, with the children then playing against each of the other schools in their pool.

Our team played some fantastic tennis, only losing in their pool to one other team, from Haberdashers Independent School.

The Tannery Drift team was then through to the semi-finals, playing the winning school from the other pool, who we’re delighted to say they beat, which put them through to the Grand Final, playing Haberdashers Independent School for the second time! 

After some nail-biting matches, Tannery Drift won silver, finishing second place in the tournament out of over 400 Primary Schools!  

Throughout the day, the children demonstrated fantastic teamwork and support for one another and should be so proud of this fantastic achievement.  Mrs Greetham and the school tennis coach, Matt Fellingham, could not be prouder of the team’s performance. Well done Charlotte, Georgina, Girvan and Joel!
