TENNIS
Juliana Barrish (Grade 11) was invited among 32 top U18 players to compete in the Junior Nationals in Bloemfontein during the holiday. The competition was strong and playing at high altitude proved to be though. After losing a close match in the first round, she fought hard in the following matches and placed 27th overall.
Juliana played great tennis and gained lots of experience. Congratulations on these results.
