The Notts County Champs was a great success with entry up on recent years, especially in the female categories of 16U Girls Singles, 18U Girls singles and the Ladies singles.

She also won 16U girls doubles with Olivia Corfe, 18U girls doubles with Sophie Cassidy-De Falco & 18U mixed doubles with Tom Utton. Quite a successful tournament for Jess.
