National Schools' Championships Day Two: Olavians Shine In The U16s And Ipswich Girls Do The Double
17/03/26: Day Two of the 2026 National Schools' Championships in association with Advanta Wealth at Repton yesterday saw an all-Olavian U16 final and a second win in two days for the Ipswich girls.
Having stepped up an age group and won the U16s on Sunday, Millie Hodgkinson & Betsy Laws completed the double yesterday in emphatic style, adding the U15 title with a win over Berkhamsted in the final.
The U16 competition also reached its climax, with the top two St.Olave's pairs defeating Harrow and Eton in the semi-finals to create a repeat of the U14 final at the same venue two years ago. That final went to five games; this one was done in three with the victory again going to Luke Whitnall & Krivi Bhavsar, although Yifan Luo & Aayan Shetty pushed them hard in all three games.
The bulk of yesterday's action was in the U15 competition, which has now reached the semi-final stage and Eton 1, St.Olave's 1 and Shrewsbury 1 and 2 will battle it out today for the trophy, while the group stages and early knockout rounds of the Open fill the rest of the Repton courts.
