HILLCREST SECONDARY SCHOOL Final HILLCREST MAG 2017 | Page 77

TENNIS
At the beginning of the season,
the Hillcrest tennis team played
their first match against Rosslyn
A and beat them 4-1. A week
later, two doubles pairs consisting
of Dilan and Karan along with
Rishabh and Shiv, participated in
the Rosslyn Doubles tournament.
Here, Hillcrest came away with
Rishabh and Shiv in 3rd place,
and Karan and Dilan emerging
as the runners up. Our next
league match was against ISK
B where we won 4-1 at home.
Following this, we played
Peponi and managed to defeat
them 3-2. Our last match of the
group stages
was against ISK
A. After a hard fought
battle, we lost this match 3-2.
However, we qualified to the
semi-finals vs Peponi. Once again,
we played a very good match
and emerged victorious with a
match score of 4-1. Our final was
against our rivals, ISK A. We all
played to the best of our abilities
in this match but unfortunately
we were unable to win the match
and subsequently lost 3-2 leaving
Hillcrest as the runners up of
the league. I would like to thank
Ms Dorcie for supporting us
throughout
the season and to congratulate
all of the players on an excellent
season. I wish you all the best for
next year.

SHOWJUMPING
Hillcrest held the annual show
jumping competition that consisted
of a range of competitors from
different schools.
This year’s show was one of my
best experiences in Hillcrest. It was
exciting, professional, colourful
and in general, just amazing to
be a part of. I was in a team with
Callum, Coral and Abigael and we
came fourth overall in the regional
showjumping class. Participating
with our team was definitely worth

all the effort and preparation
we had done before. Thank you
everyone for making this day very
special. I had so much fun!
