The Lansdown Junior Club Closed Championships, sponsored by Brasserie Blanc, got off to a fantastic start on Sunday 23rd June. We had 68 junior members competing in 9 different events, all aiming to secure a place in the Club Finals which will be held on Saturday July 13th.
Despite the uncertain forecast, the weather was kind to us and all but one of the matches were completed. Ricky Reardon, Head Coach and main organiser, was really pleased with both the turn out and the standard of play, noting that there had been ‘some really great drama in some matches’. He was helped on the day by Dan Tunstall and Pete Hoyland who both coach at the Club.
The finalists will be aiming to win the Club Title in their respective age categories in the Club Championship Finals Day. This will be held on Saturday 13th July, where the juniors will be playing alongside the senior finalists.
