Perran Tennis Inter Primary Schools Tennis Tournament

Friday saw Perran Tennis host the third local Primary schools competition. Two teams from Goonhavern and two teams from Perranporth participated in a doubles event comprising of eighteen matches. Each pair played the other three respective pairs e.g. pair one’s would compete against the other pair ones. The weather was perfect for tennis and the children not only gained enjoyment, but learned a lot about the game as the competition was based on the use of the full court and tennis scoring.
