THE tennis team from Malvern Girls' College of Clare Dean (aged 15), Nancy Zhang (13), Gigi Ma (16) and Louise Unwin (16) won through to the West Midlands tennis final.

To reach the final, which took place on November 4 at Tudor Grange School in Solihull, the girls had competed against children from over 500 schools to win through to this stage. Unfortunately, they lost in the final by only two games (4 sets to 2).

"We are very proud of the girls and delighted that they reached the final. It was an exciting match which was very closely fought and the girls deserve full credit for a brilliant team effort," said Mrs Jane Smallwood, Head of PE at the College.
