Tennis

On Thursday 6 February, a number of Shalom students trialled to make the Bundaberg tennis team. Congratulations to Xander W, Amelia W and Kayla M who qualified for the 2024 Bundaberg Tennis Team - a fantastic achievement! Shalom also had quality players who missed out on making the Bundaberg team despite being talented players in their own right including Harry K, Edi R, Nic C, Jack B, Jai P, Gabe K, George H and George S demonstrating how incredibly fortunate we are at Shalom with our depth.

On Wednesday 12 February, Shalom's Bundaberg representatives Amelia W, Kayla M and Xander W travelled to Maryborough to vie for selection in the Wide Bay team.

Congratulations to Xander W who capitalized on his booming serve and aggressive forehand to beat some quality opposition to gain selection - a fantastic and well-deserved achievement. Xander will now travel to University of Queensland in Brisbane to represent Wide Bay in the team’s event and attempt to qualify for the Queensland tennis team. Good luck Xander!

Ameila played some excellent tennis just falling short in a couple of her matches to miss selection in the Wide Bay team. A player of Amelia's considerable talent is sure to make the Wide Bay team in future years. Kayla, as another young gun, fought hard winning one of her matches but also not quite making the team this year. With Amelia and Kayla in Yr 8 and 7 respectively, girl's tennis at Shalom looks bright.

Congratulations to all players who trialled for Bundaberg and Wide Bay. All players showed typical Shalom spirit in the way they competed fiercely yet showing excellent sportsmanship.
