Three in Fives
For the first time, St Andrew’s entered a team in the National Fives U13 Championship. This took place at St Paul’s in London on Sunday 17 March and the team comprised of James Allan, Jack Casebourne and Katie McIntyre. Katie broke all tradition and created history at this event by becoming the first and only girl to ever take part at this level and won two matches against the boys.
The whole team performed exceptionally well considering they have only been playing the game since November while other schools taking part have been playing for over two years.
In their singles pools, Katie improved with each game and won two matches. James played superbly winning four and losing two (one of them by only one point). He came joint third in the pool and narrowly missed the play-offs. Jack played well in a tough pool of players and improved with each game.
In the doubles, Jack and James played exceeding well and won through to the quarter finals where they lost to a strong and experienced team from St Olaves. Well done to all three.
