U12/U15/U19 Doubles Championships- results!
The British Under 12/15/19 Doubles Championships were once again held at the Holyport Club over the weekend of 23rd-24th March. As usual this venue provided a great atmosphere for all the youngsters from the many different clubs that took part, although the freezing weather gave the event quite a different feel.
The under12 section was as strong as it’s ever been with 6 good pairs playing some exceptional tennis for their age. The closely fought semi-finals produced an all Seacourt final with Huw Thomas & George Charlton defeating their younger opponents Max Jones & William Flynn 6/4
The round robin section of the under 15’s produced the following finalists, Hugo Hodgson & Oscar Wright (Petworth) v Finlay Ramjane (Prested) & Columbus O’Donnell (Petworth). The match was far closer than the score suggests with many games going to deuce, However in the end Hugo & Oscar triumphed 6/1 6/2 to take the trophies.
The under 19 section was a quite a one sided affair with top seeds Levi Gale (Hyde) & Lewis Williams (Prested) on a much lower handicap than any other pairs. However a very close group section produced the other finalists Felix White (Radley) & Rory Giddins (Queens). The final itself proved to be far from one sided with the younger unseeded pair giving the top seeds quite a few scares before Levi & Lewis came out as the winners 6/3 6/4.
Thanks as usual go to the Holyport Club for hosting the event and to Neptune for their generous sponsorship. Also a special thanks to Holyport professional Angus Williams for all his hard work.
