AEGON County Cup Boys U14 Report

Captain - Chris Skinner

Team - Ryan Gaskin, Oliver Nunn, Tobie Timmermans, Paddy Hyde and Jack Smith

We had a difficult start at Sheffield as our Number 1 ranked player was forced to pull out through an injury at the 11th hour.    However under the circumstances I felt the team all performed well and showed a good attitude throughout the weekend both on and off the court.

On the first day we played Lancashire who were very strong and they beat us 6-0. Tobie Timmermans was the only one to get close, losing 7-5, 6-4.

On the second day we played South of Scotland and had a tough loss in a championship tiebreak shoot out when the score was 3 rubbers all.   This was especially tough as we won more sets and games and had a matchpoint in one of the losses.

The team then did very well to pick themselves up and defeat North Wales 5-1 to come 7th  in Group B.

All the players had at least 1 victory but special praise goes to Tobie who won 4 out of 6 matches.
