Somerset Tennis had some remarkable success towards the end of the holidays and into Term 1, with fantastic results at both the regional and state level.

Seventeen students competed at the Primary Schools Cup Sate finals in the first week of holidays across the 3 divisions. A total of 12 schools across the state competed with Somerset placing in the following divisions:

- Year 1 – 4 Red Ball (Girls Division) - 4th Place

- Year 5 Orange Ball (Mixed Division) - 4th Place

- Year 6 Green Ball (Girls Division) - 3rd Place

Special mention goes to Jack Dew, Hugh Adams, Marcus Wong, Evie Kingston & Dylan Kingston who were some of the students who played up a year level in the divisions. A great result to start our year.

Following this, year 10 students Timofey Korin & Huw Hoffman represented somerset & competed at the Hinterland District Trials. Timofey narrowly missed a spot in the top 4 & Huw successfully was able to place in the top 4. He will now compete next Wednesday the 5th of February for a spot in the South Coast Trials.

Alongside their success this week, both these students qualified for the Queensland Masters after a successful year of tournaments. Huw had a fantastic event, placing 3rd overall in the state. This is an amazing outcome for Huw and his career in tennis.

Upcoming this weekend and next is the KDV Junior Slam Series & first Coloured Ball Cup Event. We wish all students competing at these events good luck!
