Congratulations to the 31 teams of budding tennis youngsters who SERVED up a treat today at the annual Harlow Primary Schools’ Tennis Festivals. The morning’s event for pupils in Years 3 and 4, saw 15 teams of 4 players (2 boys and 2 girls) play in a series of ranked matches inside the awe inspiring ‘Dome’ of the Harlow Lawn Tennis Club.
Supported by Head Coach – Will Calvert and Performance Coach – Luke Spooner, the 60 children made huge progress in their game play during the matches, officiated fantastically well by Sports Leaders from Mark Hall Academy.
Teams taking part: Hare Street x 2; Jerounds x 2; Latton Green x 2; Longwood x 2; Pemberley x 2; Saint Nicholas; The Downs; and Water Lane x 2
The top 6 teams from this morning’s event will shortly receive an invitation to take part in the annual Years 3 and 4 Tri-Cluster Finals @ Harlow Tennis Club on the afternoon of the 19th of June 2025, competing against the top teams from the West Essex and Uttlesford Partnerships.
16 teams attending the afternoon session, which like the morning event, ran like clockwork thanks to the support from the Mark Hall Sports Leaders. Again all the 64 children had great fun and developed their understanding of the rules and match play in a series of ‘rubbers’.
Teams taking part: Church Langley Hare Street x 2; Jerounds x 2; Latton Green x 2; Longwood x 2; Pemberley x 2; Saint Nicholas; Cooks Spinney x 2; and Little Parndon x 2
