teams reached the semi–finals
and well done to Reinart Toerien
and James Mathey who
came second out of 13 teams.
Two
of the Uplands tennis players, Reinart
Toerien and Sheree
Comley, represented Mpumalanga
at the Inter–Provincial tournament
in Bloemfontein.
Four
Uplands tennis players were selected
for the Mpumalanga Schools Team. Congratulations
to Reinart Toerien, Lauren Stansfield,
Sheree Comley and Murphy
Mogao.
Both
our boys’ and girls’ first
teams participate in the annual Hoërskool
Nelspruit Tournament. This gives our
players the opportunity to compete against
some of the top schools in the country.
It
is very important to create as many
opportunities as possible for the Uplands
players and therefore we will always
be on the lookout for tournaments in
which to compete. |
