SPORT
TENNIS We had large numbers of boys playing at all levels across the year groups. We were again able to offer advanced coaching to some of our most promising players on a weekly basis, working with former British Davis Cup player Danny Sapsford, and one of the LTA’s top coaches in Middlesex, David Emms. The boys also got a chance to work with Luke Milligan, former GB Davis Cup player.
T
he highlight of the season was the RHWM tournament where we compete against Radley, Wellington and Marlborough. Forty-eight boys took part and Harrow won all six competitions at Senior, Junior Colts and Yearlings level. Our previous best was a win in three of the six events.
Captain of tennis Ciaran Timlin (Bradbys), one of the best players the School has produced in probably 15 years, and Thomas Cheah (The Head Master’s) were awarded their Flannels. Mostyn Fulford (The Knoll) of the Remove represented Wandsworth, who won the tennis section of the London Youth Games. The behaviour and attitude of the boys during the season was exemplary. Their commitment to training was very good and their team spirit and mutual support was a great credit to them. The boys were also well supported by their parents. At the Parent and Son Competition there were 28 family entries, so many that we ran two competitions. Thomas Cheah won the main event, while the Yearling competition was won by Charlie McDowell (The Knoll). Both boys were partnered by their mothers. – John Eaton, Rackets Professional
