Wimbledon Ball Boys Congratulations

In 2020, the Championships Wimbledon was cancelled due to the pandemic, which meant that our successful Wimbledon Ball Boys missed the opportunity to serve the professional tennis players. It was therefore a pleasure to see Glyn School students taking part in this year's Championships.  I had the privilege of visiting Wimbledon on the first Friday of the tournament and was able to see our students in action and to hear that they were all doing an excellent job.  

Congratulations to the following students who acted as Wimbledon 2021 Ball Boys:

Adam 12B, Findlay 10A, Archie 11C, Finlay 11D, and Henry 10SB.

The students can be very proud of their dedication, commitment and hard work during many months of training sessions.  During the tournament, Ball Boys and Ball Girls worked as a team of six, operating the ball safely around the court. Finlay and Henry were very fortunate to be placed in the same team. Adam 12B had the honour of being selected as a Ball Boy for the Men's Wheelchair Final on Court 3, and his team were present for the trophy ceremony.  Adam was also awarded with the ultimate prize of being selected to form the Guard of Honour for the Men's Singles Final on Sunday.

Unfortunately, Elliott 12D missed out on this year's Championships, but showed a great deal of maturity and professionalism in dealing with the disappointment, and he deserves a special mention.

The Wimbledon Ball Boys can be very proud of their achievement and performance during the Championships.

Mr Churchill, Acting Assistant Director of Sport
