Knutsford One Day Tournament

Another beautiful day for the Knutsford One Day Tournament - 42 players enjoyed some great tennis in the sunshine! In the U12 section 10 pairs were split into two round robin groups with the top 3 in each group progressing to the knock out stages. The form held up in the semis - the two group winners reaching the final - with the home club pairing of James Clewlow and Alex Pierce edging past Bramhall Lane's Max Hanson & Sam Carpenter to take the top prize.
The U15 boys and girls split into two groups with the girls topping each group. The Northern's Faye Worrall & Eilidh Gawley fell at the semi final stage but Alderley Edge's Emily Spencer & Ava Johnson reached the final and had chances in a tight match but the Bramhall Queensgate team of Sam Hanson & Jonny Hall won the day.
The U18s were joined by three U15 teams, producing some excellent tennis for the crowd to enjoy. Rob & Martin Benson-May (Didsbury) came out on top, retaining their title, with Knutsford's Jack Farell & Ed Crowther in runners up. The U15s were headed by Bramhall Lane's Kieran Cronin & Yannick Ali-Simeon with Ryecroft's Faris McGrath & Joppe Meulensteen in runners up.
Thanks to Debbie & the Knutsford team for a great welcome and an enjoyable day!

West Heaton One Day Tournament

The best of the weather arrived at West Heaton last Saturday producing ideal conditions for the One Day Mixed doubles tournament! Leading the way in the U15 competition were Francesca Bailey and Sam Perry (Bramhall Lane/Alderley Edge) who took the Mike Hattan Trophy, dropping only 4 games along the way! Holly Hunt and Henry Wilson (Heaton Mersey) were runners up with Holly Whitehead and George Staddon (also Heaton Mersey) in 3rd place.
In the U12s, an all Heaton Mersey event saw Emily Herd and Alex Fynn taking top honours from Lauren Hunt and George Chatterton in runners up, with Anna Staddon and George Wilson in third.
An enjoyable afternoon for players and spectators alike - thanks, as ever, to the welcoming team at West Heaton!
