The County Under 14s tennis team produced a strong campaign in a competitive group of five teams, finishing 2nd overall.
The squad recorded three impressive victories:
โ€ข 4-2 win against Cumbria
โ€ข 4-3 win against North of Scotland
โ€ข 4-2 win against Northumberland
Everything came down to the final match against South of Scotland, with first place on the line. The team went into the last two doubles matches tied at 2-2. Unfortunately, South of Scotland took both doubles rubbers, resulting in a 4-2 defeat for our county side.
Despite the narrow loss in the title decider, the teamโ€™s three wins from four matches secured a well-deserved runners-up position.
The performance throughout the competition highlighted the squadโ€™s talent, fighting spirit, and potential.

Congratulations to all the players and coaches on an excellent tournament!

Kicking things off with U14 Girls ๐Ÿคฉ

What a fantastic weekend for our U14 girls at the County Cup in Boston, competing in a very tough qualifying group. We couldnโ€™t be prouder of every single player.

Each player gave their all on court, battling through a series of close matches filled with big moments, both individually and as a team.

This weekend brought many valuable lessons but hereโ€™s our top three:
๐Ÿ”ฅ Decisions arenโ€™t always made by coaches, players share responsibility in making the right choices for themselves and the team.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Openly sharing thoughts and feelings helps us grow, support one another, and build a more positive, successful environment.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Staying true to yourself and your values matters more than any result on the court.

This group is on an exciting journey, and their continued learning and development will lead them to the success theyโ€™re working towards.

Well done, girls! You should be incredibly proud of everything you achieved this weekend!

What an incredible weekend for our young stars! We had four teams take to the courts, showing determination, teamwork, and a real love for the game.

Our boys battled brilliantly to finish 4th and 5th, with both groups earning fantastic wins along the way ๐Ÿ‘

Our girls were outstanding, securing 3rd and 6th place with some superb performances and great fighting spirit ๐ŸŒŸ

For many, this was the very start of their competitive tennis journey - and they embraced every moment. From first points to big rallies, the courage and enthusiasm on display were something to be proud of!

These experiences are what build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong passion for the sport ๐ŸŽพ

A huge well done to every player - your effort, attitude, and smiles made it a weekend to remember!
