We would like to congratulate our Tennis Captain and number 1 player, Connor Doig, on reaching the finals of the J60 Gauteng North ITF tournament, that was played on Friday 16 June at the University of Pretoria. Connor, who was seeded number 5 for the tournament, played brilliant tennis all week, and en route to the finals, beat the number 1 seed Denzel Seetso in the quarter`s, and Rudiger Dusselberg, the current SA National champion, in the semi-finals. He played a fantastic final, and narrowly lost 3-6 5-7 to Gareth Igesund.
We are extremely proud of Connor on this amazing result, and wish him all the best in his next tournament.
At the recent Inter-Provincial tournament, that was held in Pretoria and Bloemfontein from 1-5 March 2023, Saints had a total of 9 players representing Gauteng Central. 6 players from the Boys’ College, 2 players from the Girls College and 1 player from the Boys Prep.
The under 19 team ended 3rd in the tournament, with Moeketsi Mokete and Kulani Shipalana from the Boys College receiving a bronze medal at the tournament.
The under 15 team ended in 2nd place in the tournament, and Declan Halsey, Sekani Vara, Connor Miller and Cameron Corbett from the Boys College, Kayleigh Stayt and Sharania Moodley from the Girls College, all receiving a silver medal at the tournament.
The under 13 team ended 4th in Bloemfontein, with Azeem Peer representing the Boys Prep.
We are extremely proud of all our players who represented the College and their province with pride, and our depth in tennis this year is truly noteworthy.
We are proud to announce that our top 4 Under 16 tennis players, Jordan Georgiev, Connor Doig, Joshua Crowie and Moeketsi Mokete, won the Gauteng section of the BNP Paribas Rising stars tournament over the past weekend (11-12 September 2021).
During the Round Robin phase, St Stithians defeated Hoerskool Waterkloof, Arthur Ashe Tennis Academy and H and R Academy, thus reaching the semi-finals. St Stithians then went on to beat Tshela Thupa in order to reach the final.
Only the winners of the tournament qualify to play in the BNP Paribas Rising Stars National finals, so there was a lot at stake when we started our final clash against our neighbours, Hoerskool Randburg. Our team displayed grit, strength and resilience as we beat Hoerskool Randburg convincingly in the final.
We extremely proud of our players, whilst their sportsmanship during the tournament was of the highest standard. This wonderful performance bodes well for the future and culture of tennis at the Boys College. #SaintsExcellence
The National finals will take place in Pretoria from 22-24 October 2021.
