Canberra Junior Tennis League results
In recent weeks, the Canberra Junior Tennis leagues have concluded their spring season, and Radford tennis is proud to celebrate the achievements of our young players. This spring, Radford fielded three teams across the Yellow Ball and Green Ball competitions, with exciting results.
Our Green Ball teams included several new players taking on the challenge of their first competitive tennis season. It’s been exciting to watch their growth and development in the competitive environment, and we look forward to seeing them improve even further in future seasons.
A standout performance came from our Yellow Ball team, the Division 6 Hawks. On Sunday, 17 November, the Hawks secured an impressive victory in their finals match against Manuka Tennis Club 2, completing an undefeated run through the entire season. The team, which included both experienced competitive players and newcomers to Yellow Ball competitions, demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork. We would like to extend our congratulations to Shaun Freebairn-Yap (Year 9, Boronia), Milaan Gera (Year 8, Wandoo), Rohan Jain (Year 6, Huon), Hugh Wyborn (Year 8, Huon) and Saharsh Yelamanchili (Year 8, Wandoo) for their contributions to Radford tennis. Their dedication and effort were key to the team’s success.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to see our teams return to the courts for more competitive action. We can't wait to see how our players continue to grow and achieve new milestones in the upcoming seasons.
