ALL-ISLAND SCHOOLS TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP 2018

Visakha Vidyalaya Colombo, annexed the Under-15 and Under-13 titles at the concluded All-Island Schools Tennis Championship 2018, held at the Sri Lanka Tennis Association (SLTA) courts in Greenpath. Visakha beat Bishops’ College ‘A’ in the Under-15 age category final, after their Under-13 team overcame much favoured Musaeus College to become overall champs. In the Under-15 age category, Visakha topped their group while the fancied Ladies’ College team, despite securing a group top position, failed to impress in the following round. According to rankings of the competition, Visakha and Bishops’ ‘A’ reached the final and the eventual winners had very little trouble in securing the overall championship.

Musaeus, who finished fifth in the group stages, bounced back to claim the overall third position. In the Under-13 age category, Visakha outsmarted the defending champions Musaeus to claim the overall title. Bishops’ College ‘A’ beat Ave Maria Convent, Negombo to secure the overall third position. This was one of the best outcomes in the recent history for Visakha Vidyalaya in tennis, being able to gain top ranks in two age categories at a single competition. The All-Island Schools Tennis Championship 2018 continues this weekend with the boy’s competitions.
