TENNIS The 1968 Tennis Club was particularly enthusiastic, and all of the fifteen full-time players contributed to this. The tennis courts this year were used more than ever. Various boys gave up their cricket in order to devote their time to tennis. Both teams had very successful seasons. The 2nd VI won both their matches and it is unfortunate that other matches were cancelled. The fixtures played were as follows:— Saturday, 4th May: 2nd VI v. Bootham. Home. Won 5-4. Saturday, 8th June: 2nd VI v. Pocklington. Away. Won 54-34. The 1st VI this year is probably the best the School has had. It is certainly the best by results, as the team had an unbeaten record : — Saturdy,4hM:Bom.AwayWn6-3 Wednesday, 15th May: Scarborough. Home. Won Wednesday, 22nd May: Archbishop Holgates G.S. Home.
