Boys from St Paul's School dominated the action at this weekend's West of England Schools' Championships, picking up three of the four main prizes on offer. In the Colts, Yul Kahn-Pascual won the singles title before teaming up with Oliver Arnold to take the doubles as well – in both cases with wins over boys from Blundell's. In the Senior section, too, the doubles title went to St Paul's – courtesy of Francis Thomas and Theo Parker in an all-Pauline final. However, Bradfield's David Butler prevented a clean sweep for the boys from Barnes, beating Theo Parker in the singles final.
St Paul's also claimed the Senior Doubles plate, but no one school dominated the other three plates, with boys from Winchester, Eastbourne and Blundell's winning the silverware.
