U13 Tournament Success

Congratulations to the following players taking part in the U13 Silver tournament in Loughborough:

After some tough draws and coming so close in previous events Grace King went all the way to win Gold in the girls U13 Singles Silver event. A fantastic achievement which required Grace to beat two Silver Graded players to claim top spot. Brilliant..!!

After reaching the final in the Nottinghamshire event Joe Daly went one better and won Gold in the U13 Singles event winning in great style knocking out the 1st, 2nd and 4th seeds before claiming his prize without dropping a single game - awesome Joe..!

In a tough group Sam Jennings managed to battle through to top honours and qualify for the knockout rounds in fine style winning his final group match and holding his nerve to win in three. Sam then came up against the number 2 seed and came very close to making it an all Derbyshire final narrowly losing out 17-15, 15-11. Excellent performance Sam for the Bronze medal in the singles.

Well done to all Derbyshire players playing in this event.
