After a 42-year drought, Wesley College has claimed the Public Schools Association (PSA) W.R. Corr Cup.

With the result coming down to the final fixture, Wesley College defeated 2nd place Christ Church Grammar School 16 sets to eight to claim top spot and win the title.

Wesley College went through the season winning 11 matches and dropping one, finishing on 22 points.

It marks the seventh occasion that Wesley College has won the Corr Cup, with the last win coming in 1981.

Wesley College Head of Tennis Strahinja Bobusic praised the efforts and determination of the team over the course of the season to bring the Corr Cup back to Wesley.

“This win over Christ Church is so special to our current players, past players, and supporters of Wesley College.

“The team has done a tremendous job and worked so hard, starting in October 2022 when we had our training camp.”

While proud of all Wesley’s players, Bobusic highlighted the effort of one game-changing performance.

“Yangho Park did a fantastic job defeating Archie Brown 7-5 6-2 at number 1 singles on the day. The match was played in front of a large crowd and Yangho did a tremendous job of inspiring the team. This singles win was the tipping point and swayed the momentum our way.”

The PSA tennis cup is named after Mr W.R. Corr, a long-serving teacher and tennis coach at Hale School. The Corr Cup was first presented in 1963, to Wesley College.
