Leicestershire make it three in row

Friday, June 25, 2010

The Leicestershire Club retained the Leicester Mercury Cup in convincing fashion by defeating Roundhill.

It completed a hat-trick for Leicestershire, whose line-up contained either county or nationally-ranked players.

Despite the margin of victory being 5½-½, it was an entertaining final and there were some close scores.

Leicestershire's top couple were John Ison, an England veteran, and 14-year-old Katie Boulter, who is an outstanding national player.

They were in tremendous form and dropped only four games in their two matches.

Boulter has just returned from the USA and is now at the national tennis centre in Roehampton.
