East Devon Tennis Finals

East Devon Tennis Finals

At the end of April the children took part in a Honiton Learning Community Tennis event, we were pleased and excited to learn that the children won this competition and were invited to play in the East Devon finals at Exmouth Tennis Centre.   We were able to take  a Year 3 and 4 team of four children, William, Sophia, Abbie and Abigail.  At the finals there were 9 other schools and each child got to play three games each. Although on this occasion the children didn't win the event, they had a great afternoon and  William commented 'It was a brilliant opportunity to play in a great venue and we are proud that we got this far'.

Sophia was also one of three children selected from all the schools to receive a 'Spirit of the Games Award'. It was noted by the organisers how not only did she volunteer willingly to play as a 'boy' but she was supportive of her team mates by saying 'It's not about winning but taking part and enjoying it.' 

We are very proud of the children for getting through to the finals and the sporting way in which they approached the event.  Well done to the four children involved!
