Saturday 21st July saw Northumberland’s under 9 team participated in the AEGON Under 9 County Cup held at Sunderland Tennis Centre. The team consisted of Will Gray, Gareth Rickaby, Cole Cartmell, Dan Senior, Elena Baughman Saunders, Emma Lawson, Rachel Bogan and Rebekah Hudson.
The team played some outstanding tennis, with fantastic rallies against players from Durham & Cleveland, Cumbria and North Wales in some very close and well fought matches, some of which came down to the final rubber. It was great to see such close matches played in good sprit and the team finished in second place overall. The highlight was Will and Elena's mixed doubles victory over Cumbria to secure a vital deciding rubber. The event was really well organised and there was a great team spirit and every player finished the day looking forward to representing Northumberland in the future.
