The Tildesley Tennis Tournament was first held in 1918 and is the longest-running all-girls sporting competition in Australian history. This week, our team of 6 players headed to Sydney to compete. We had some fabulous results with both of our singles players, Sophie B and Trista D making it through to Round 5. A first for PLC Armidale to have both singles players make Round 5.  Our doubles pairs Sophie Y and Imogen were unfortunately defeated in Round 1 by a very handy and experienced Frenshaem duo, and Daisy and Holly S had a convincing win in round 1 v Santa Sabina and were unlucky to lose their Round 3 match v Pymble. 

It was an absolute pleasure to accompany these girls to the Tildesley Tournament. With many staff and officials commenting on what lovely girls the PLC A girls are and how gracious they are on court.

Well done team PLCA - Daisy S (C), Holly S, Sophie Y, Sophie B, Trista D and Imogen S.

Well done to our representative swimming team who competed at the IGSA Swimming Championships in Sydney. 

Of all the races swum by our girls, 84 per cent were PB’s - what an impressive statistic!

A special congratulations to Poppy McLaren, 2025 Swimming Captain on a wonderful last year of swimming - Poppy won her 18 Years backstroke heat, placed third in her 18 Years butterfly heat and made the B Final for her 18 Years 50m freestyle.

A big thank you to Mr Stuniucha for his hard work training the girls and supporting them on the day.
