Under-16 Spring Tournament           16th May 2010

Twenty-two boys and ten girls enjoyed some hard competitive matches. It was good to see younger experienced players and also some newer players competing.

Both the boy’s singles and boy’s doubles produced some close group matches with two groups needing to be decided by points difference. The match of the boy’s singles was the closely fought semifinal between George Caplin & Tim Scott which showed very skilful and thoughtful play from both players, with Tim eventually winning in the third set.

The girl’s events were well supported again with both younger experienced players and some competing in their first tournament. The girls match of note was in the girl’s final when two very experienced team-mates and friends, Kym Gormer & Claudette Reis met. After three very hard fought sets Claudette eventually won 25-23 in the third. Both player should be congratulated on their fighting spirit and excellent play.

Boy’s Singles

Winner: Tim Scott. Runner: Up Tom Spence

Girl’s Singles

Winner: Claudette Reis. Runner: Up Kym Gormer

Boy’s Doubles
