Last year, Ayeesha represented Blacktown in the NSW Hardcourt Interdistrict team event. The four members of the Blacktown Tennis 10 & Under Girls' tennis team were undefeated during the season, and the team went on to win the Harry Beck Cup at the Grand Final in September 2018.
Due to their outstanding play, sportsmanship and young ages, this team was nominated in the team category of the prestigious Blacktown City Council Sports awards for 2018. They were up against some very impressive teams from Softball, Acrobatic Gymnastics and Rugby League and across all sports 17 years and under.
On Saturday night, the team was announced as the Winning “Team of the Year” at the Annual Gala Presentation of the Blacktown City Council Sports Awards. The girls were presented with their trophy by Blacktown City Council Mayor, CR. Stephen Bali MP and Chairman of Blacktown City Sports and Recreation Advisory Committee, CR. Brad Bunting. The young girls' team were recognised as a credit to our sport and the future.
