The Senior Students competition aims to encourage lower, or non-rated senior students aged 16-18 to play competitive tennis in a team environment.

After the regional knockout stage in January and February, the top teams contested the Finals last weekend with success for the South West with wins for Exeter College Girls and Truro College Boys.

No.2 seeds Exeter College Girls (below) claimed the Girls title defeating Benenden School, Kent in the final.

The team is made up of two pairs of sisters: Aisling and Amber Massey and Katie and Molly Wiltshire and the team were emphatic throughout the weekend.  Exeter College GirlsAisling Massey proved to be one of the stars of the tournament and the Final itself, with very tight 7-6 wins in both her singles and doubles rubber to allow Exeter College to defeat Benenden School 10-2 in the Final.

Steve Ashton, Director of Tennis for Exeter College remarked: “I am very proud of the effort our girls team have put into their tennis this year, it was not only fantastic in itself that they qualified for the Senior Students National Finals, but it was an added bonus and a credit to them all for going on to win the event to become Champions. It has been a pleasure to work with the girls all year and to be part of this fantastic team."
