SHS TABLE TENNIS 2012
41 students took part in the inaugural 2012 SHS table
tennis championship. The Junior Boys singles title was taken out by Matthew
Holden beating a gallant Kody Simpson. Kody had his revenge in the doubles when
combining with Quintin Bailey to overcome Quinlin Bosson-Thompson and Caleb
McQuay in the final. Sarah Kowalewski was a clear cut winner in the Junior
Girls singles over Jessica Taunt and then combined with Holly Mackie to beat
Jessica and Katie Taylor in the doubles final.
Matthew
Sullivan-Brown was too strong for Ryk Ferguson in the Senior Boys singles and
Thomas Ferguson with Jarvis Gotty beat Ryk and Jordan Haakma in the doubles.
Hannah Martin managed to beat Aimee Hinton in the Senior Girls singles but
Aimee came back with Rebekah Frost to win over Hannah and Laureen Cox in the
doubles. A good event for a first time and hopefully 2013 will see an increase
in participation. We would like to thank Pub Charity for the grant
which enabled the school to purchase the tables which have been well used in PE
classes, lunchtime activities and the school tournament.
