A fantastic effort from the boys at 9U County Cup.

It was a brilliant day of tennis, with the team battling hard from start to finish and earning an impressive second place finish. They showed great determination and resilience throughout the day and won three incredibly tight doubles matches to edge out wins against Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Captains' Report

The 9U Girls County Cup was a fantastic event and a great experience for the whole team. The girls played extremely well throughout the competition, showing real determination and improvement in every match.

The level of competition was very high, with many strong and talented players taking part. Every match was tough, but our girls rose to the challenge, competing bravely and never giving up.

Most importantly, the team worked incredibly hard, supported one another brilliantly, and had loads of fun along the way. Their positive attitude and team spirit were wonderful to see, and they should all be very proud of their efforts.
