Somerset recently hosted Sheldon College for the sixth instalment of our annual bout. 

The team at Somerset & Sheldon have nurtured a great relationship over the past six years, giving students the opportunity to compete in a high-level pressure environment, sparking some fantastic tennis.

Twelve Somerset & Sheldon students battled it out over a total of 30 matches which added up to 50 sets & 281 games. Spread across the ages of nine to 16, the quality every year reaches a new level.

After five hours of tennis in what has been an early start to our summer season, Somerset clinched the win 17 to 13 in matches. Notable matches go out to the Yellow Ball Girls (Inca Burdett & Ling Rostas) and the Orange Ball boys (Hugh Adams & Jack Dew) for displaying what was dubbed by coaches and parents as the most impressive and competitive tennis on the day.

Thank you to parents and players for making it a fantastic day, and to Jake Alchin and the team at Sheldon College. Next year, we travel to Sheldon College to continue our bout!
