Reflecting on the teams' success, Head of Tennis Tommy Ogilvie, said: “It is a fantastic achievement for the players and the school. The finals were held during our half-term, so I have to thank the players and their families for giving up some of their holidays, and even flying back to Scotland to represent the school. It shows they have a sense of belonging to Strathallan and the team, it means a lot to them. There were some fantastic performances across the two days - Ryan and I are extremely proud of them.”
Strathallan School extends it's gratitude to Denholm Partnership Architects for sponsoring our team and providing them with new Castore kits. And thanks must go to our dedicated coaches, Tommy Ogilvie and Ryan Martin, for their unwavering support throughout the tournament and the season.
