It was fantastic for our Dorset juniors to return to Winchester at the weekend (7th March) for a Junior Padel Friendly taking on some increasingly familiar faces from Team Hants & IoW.
The teams battled it out across three hours and three courts throughout the afternoon in an “every game counts” match format. Dorset came out on top with a 102-92 victory, but even more pleasing for the coaches was the clear improvement in the standard of play from all the juniors (from previous ties and throughout the afternoon).
It was great to see such a strong mix of players involved, with both boys and girls taking part and a wide range of playing experience on show. We hope events like this county fixture encourage juniors across Dorset to make the most of the arrival of spring, to pick up a racket, invite their friends and family along, and give padel a go using the ever-growing number of courts available across the county.
