Haverhill’s juniors have enjoyed playing in the revived Suffolk Junior Leagues over the Winter. The 14U team of Sam Howard, Sam MacDonald and Joshua Smith beat Wortham, Newmarket, Red Lodge and Culford to qualify for the finals which they won against A + M Tennis, Coddenham. The result all came down to the doubles, which Haverhill won 6-4 6-2, the winners receiving medals, a trophy, a plaque and a cheque for Haverhill Tennis Club. The Club held its penultimate competition of the Winter Series on 2nd March, with the 14U Boys in action again. The final was between Alfie Kennard and Sam McDonald, Sam rounding off an excellent week to win 5-3 4-1, with a brilliant attitude displayed by the 12 boys who took part, many competing in their first event.
