Kingswood College term 3 achievers.

Tennis: On the weekend U15A and U15B Tennis girls played in a doubles fixture away against DSG. Our U15A girls quickly shook off their cobwebs and produced a marvelous performance winning the encounter by 3 matches to 1. This result bodes well for the rest of their season.

The U15B girls had a challenging fixture, but fought hard to be as competitive as possible.  In the end they lost the encounter by 4 matches to 0, but they can only grow from this experience and can be proud of their typical Kingswood fighting spirit.
