An inner look at Delia's competitive tennis team

By Sour Bhowmik

Congratulations to the DSC Tennis Team for winning Bronze in the recent ISSFHK league!

True dedication and hard work was shown by every member of the team, who played to their best under the sun of Wednesday, February 11th. They scored greatly in the playoffs landing them in the lines to win a medal.

The tennis team fought against schools such as GSIS valiantly, winning singles and losing only one of two doubles. Tough competitors, who are known to have much more privileges than the DSC tennis team, faced the might of DSC. Although the opponents had enormous amounts of good players, DSC played through an extremely tough day and achieved the gold medal. An honorary mention goes out to Ken Lee, facing the toughest competition in semi-finals, losing only one game. His dedication rallied the team further and resulted in the whole team doing a great job and achieving a Bronze medal as well.

Although some would say that the Tennis team received Bronze medal last year as well, they fail to see one great distinction that set apart the team of the past and the present. Over the course of that year, the tennis team lost a segment of their exemplary players, thus reducing their likelihood of winning as much as they actually did. But, through great amounts of teamwork and having such great players on the team, the Tennis Team won a Bronze medal in the ISSFHK league.

When asking Mr. Riddick about the success of our school in the ISSFHK competitions, Mr Riddick pointed his finger to the banners that are currently hanging in the auditorium. He said, “Look at that, Raziq.” I paused and looked up seeing the banners that are considered as trophies in the history of our school. We proudly hang them in the auditorium and those who played in the sports of our school will be forever remembered in the history of Delia.
