Holly Nugent

Holly started playing Fives at Alleyn’s School but it was at Cambridge University, playing with the men’s team and enjoying the superb new courts at the Sports Centre, that Holly began to make her mark. She captained the University Women to victory over Oxford Women in 2020 and 2022, making it five matches in which Holly has been on the winning side in the Varsity Match between 2018 and 2022. In addition, during the 2021-22 season Holly won the Plate in the U23 Ladies Singles and then went on to win the Doubles with fellow Cantabridgian Savanna Leboff; then she paired up with her younger sister Martha to win the silver medal in the National Ladies Doubles.
