A high- quality AIC Tennis Season came to an end last weekend. Across the Association, 127 teams competed across divisions from Year 5 to Opens with 5 Colleges claiming at least 1 AIC Tennis premiership.
St Peters have claimed the title of the ‘Champion’ AIC Tennis school again in 2024 after claiming the Aggregate Championship Shield, First IV Tennis Premiership and 7 Division Premierships. Across the 12 AIC premiership divisions, St Peters team finished in first or second place in all 12 divisions! This is an incredible benchmark that the Indooroopilly school has set for the rest of the competition. The St Peters community is incredibly proud of the Tennis programs achievements.
“Congratulations to St Peters AIC Tennis teams on another outstanding season. The success of the program has been built over many years and is down to the dedication of students, coaches and staff,” Acting Director of Sport Mr. Jeremy Lohe enthusiastically explained.
The St Peters First IV claimed their second successive AIC First IV Premiership, going through the 7 Rounds of the season undefeated. During the 7 fixtures, St Peters First IV won an incredible 51 out of a possible 56 matches across singles and doubles. With a number of the boys in the team returning in 2025, the St Peters First IV will be looking to claim a hat-trick of victories in this prestigious division next year.
Marist College Ashgrove continues to challenge St Peters for the title of AIC Champion Tennis school. This year, Marist College Ashgrove finished second in both the First IV premiership and the overall Aggregate Competition. Marist College Ashgrove were able to claim a share of the 9B premiership (with St Peters) and the 7B premiership. It will be exciting to see the competition build between Marist College Ashgrove and St Peters on the tennis courts in the coming years.
St Patrick’s displayed the biggest overall improvement in AIC Tennis results this season. This year, the Shorncliffe school claimed both the Year 8A and 8B premierships, as well as move to 3rd place in the overall Aggregate Championship. In 2023, St Patrick’s finished 5th. With a runners-up finish in the 10A division and a number of top 3 finishes in premiership competitions across a number of year levels, the future looks bright for St Patrick’s Tennis.
Villanova (7A) and Iona (4th IV) also claimed Tennis premierships this season. In primary school fixtures, St Peters (6A & 6B) and Marist College Ashgrove (5A & 5B) were able to secure “Undefeated” seasons.
The AIC would like to thank all of the coaches in our AIC Colleges who support the development of our Tennis players. Thank you must also go to the large number of Tennis Centres across Brisbane and Ipswich who support AIC Tennis by allowing fixtures to be played on their courts. AIC students get to participate on some of the best facilities in the region.
