The tournament of the Lancashire Girls' Schools Lawn Tennis League was held this year in Victoria Park, Manchester on the first Saturday in July.

Play commenced at 10.00 by which time several hundred spectators were assembled. We were there in great numbers to back up our champions, Ethel Greengrass and Mary McNicol. It was a fine, bright morning. We were very excited.

Manchester High School won the first round without much difficulty. We then won two more rounds to reach the final which was against Bolton School. The eager cries, "Play up, Bolton!" and "Keep it up, Manchester," rang through the air. At last the strain was over. We won the shield! Our champions were the heroes of the day! We all joined in the cheering and clapping.
