Curro Hazeldean learners are making a name for themselves in tennis.
The boys and girls tennis teams participated in the Inter Africa Bureau de Change Highs School tennis tournament held in Bethlehem from 7 to 9 September.
The girls played in the A section and finished in 8th place.
Maud Tsaura was chosen by all the players as the Players Player for True Sportsmanship.
The boy’s team also played in the A section and advanced to the finals where they met the strong team of Hoërskool Helpmekaar.
After the doubles game the scores were tied.
In the singles Michael Wessels lost in the third set tie-breaker while Alden Coetzee won his match in the third set tie-breaker.
After NJ Coetzee won his match in straight sets the pressure was on Johann Coetzee to take at least one set for Curro to win.
Johann did this in style and Curro College was crowned as the champion boys team for 2017.
Credit must also go to the players from Helpmekaar who played high quality tennis and showed great sportsmanship.
