SISS Tennis Cup - Timaru

By Hamish Robb | Posted: Tuesday March 31, 2026

Congratulations to Mathew Campbell and Bilal Ahmad on winning the South Island Secondary Schools Tennis Cup in Timaru over summer tournament week.

Dominant wins over Christchurch Boys' High School and John McGlashan College in pool play led them into a semi-final tie against Marlborough Boys' College. After Mathew won his singles, Bilal dug deep to win in a third set, coming back from 3-0 down. This meant the tie was won before the doubles, taking any pressure off that match. In the final against Fiordland College, two comfortable singles wins were followed by a super tie-break win in the doubles.

Thank you to coach Jaden Grinter for his support throughout the tournament; it was great to have him courtside.
