Friday, September 09, 2011

Corinne Blythe and Ben Minski won the flagship under-18 singles at the Leicestershire junior championships.

The finals were fought out at Leicestershire Tennis Club and Knighton Tennis Centre after the scheduling of a record 30 events and 555 matches.

Robert Leck landed both the under-14 and under-16 boys' singles and Abigail Wilkin the under-eight and under-nine girls' events. Charlotte Donald beat her sister, Rebecca, in the girls' under-16 final.

Tournament director Geoff Bone said: "The standard of play was exceptionally high right up from the under-eights to the under-18s.

"Many of these talented Leicestershire youngsters are more than capable of developing into County-standard players as adults. The County's tennis future looks bright."
