It was played at Oxstalls on Tuesday 16th October and the lads played exceptionally well but went down 4-2. Chris Cole won his singles by 6 games to 4 against a higher ranked opponent and kept up his record of not having lost a school singles or doubles rubber at his age group all year. Will Gardner accompanied Chris to win the other match - with a doubles victory. Elliott Hopson played extremely well as did Jake Haywood but they lost to 2 lads who were 2 years their senior.

The Under 18 side drew with Colstons on match wins but unfortunately lost overall on games.

The boys have had a great run this year including knocking out St. Edwards from Cheltenham in the County Final 4 - 0 without needing to play the doubles. They actually lost to St. Edwards 6 - 0 in June which makes the result all the more satisfying. In the regional semi-final they then saw off Dauntseys School from Wiltshire by a score of 5 - 1.

The team consists of Chris Cole, Will Gardner, Elliott Hopson and Liam Britton-Jeal.
