The talented quartet - James H, Bobby W, Tyler B and Keelan S - dominated the competition, winning every single match, including the final, with an impressive record of five games and zero losses. Head of PE, Mr Bullock, praised the team’s achievement, saying: “This was a fantastic display of skill and determination. To go unbeaten throughout the tournament is a huge accomplishment, and the boys should be extremely proud of themselves.” Congratulations to the team on this incredible success - you’ve done Priory proud!
