Ella McDonald, Lucie Ethell (Capt.), Puneet Mathauda and Hannah Mears travelled to Huddersfield Lawn Tennis Club to play their second knockout round against Crossley Heath School, for a place in the last 16 teams in the country. Crossley Heath were higher rated that KGS on paper but this didn’t stop KGS giving their opponents a run for their money. The singles sets all took a minimum of 40 minutes to an hour with both schools edging ahead and being caught up. Despite a brave battle by our team they were narrowly overpowered with Puneet and Ella losing 6-4; Hannah 6-3 and Lucie 6-1. In the doubles however, Hannah and Puneet were triumphant taking their set 6-3. Ella and Lucie lost 6-1 but the final score didn’t reflect the closeness of the game. The team are to be congratulated for a determined effort and keeping their heads under pressure. They have done extremely well to get to this point in the competition and we look forward to being contenders next year. **Tags:** [2016-2017](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2016-2017) [Sports](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2016-10-11-kgs-welcomed-professor-gary-sheffield-for-world-war-one-lecture) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2016-10-21-imogen-qualifies-for-north-west-regional-championships-next-may) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
