Boys U15 A v The Perse

Felsted’s U15 are getting used to the taste of success after a visit to The Perse. Six pairs of Perse U15s took on three pairs of Felsted U15s supported by a further three pairs of our U14s. The U14s fought valiantly picking off vital games here and there to contribute toward the victory. The First three pairs didn’t drop a match all afternoon a testament to their focus and teamwork. A great team effort with too many contributions to mention any particular names. Well done boys.

U15 Boys - Aegon National R1

Felsted’s Under 15 boy’s tennis team had their first round match of the Aegon National schools final on Thursday.  The Boys travelled to Chelmsford to play King Edward VI Grammar school.  The team consisted of Mont’s boys James Benbrook and Charles Broom, Max Haendle from Gepp’s and Ignacio Perez Olivera, also from Gepp’s House.  The format of the competition is one round of singles consisting of one set, and one round of doubles, also consisting of one set. King Edward VI Grammar school had some notable players in their squad who have respectable LTA rankings, as did Felsted, with James Benbrook and Charles Broom having a 6.2 and a 9.1 ranking respectively.

Felsted set the tone and took an early lead in all the singles matches and despite the high winds which made serving very difficult for both sides, Felsted boys held their nerve and were patient in the rallies, which paid off as all four singles matches went Felsted’s way.  Charles Broom disposed of his opposite number in a no nonsense fashion taking the spoils with a 6 – 0 victory, Max Haendle won his singles match 6 – 1 as did Ignacio Perez Olivera.  James Benbrook had more of challenge in their number one player, but he too took the points winning 6-3.The doubles matches saw more of the same with Benbrook and Broom taking an early lead as did the Gepp’s paring of Haendle and Perez Olivera.  The weather unfortunately turned nasty and the rain came down stopping play, but Felsted had already wrapped up the match taking maximum points.

U15 Boys Aegon Cup

Result:Won 10-2
Review: Felsted School now has two wins out of two in the Aegon sponsored U15 Boys' Tennis National Championships following their latest victory over Tendring College. This was a fantastic result for the School with impressive displays from Team Captain Edward Reid from Elwyn’s House, Max Haendle from Gepp’s, Charlie Broom from Mont’s, and a Man of the Match performance from Year 9 Pascal Rubinstein, who is also from Elwyn’s. Pascal showed great Felsted sprit and maturity and character to hold his nerve to win in his closely contested singles match 7/5, which resulted in Felsted taking 10 out of a possible 12 points. Congratulations to all the boys involved in what was a great victory for the School.
