Young Players Share Honours in Welsh Championship

Monday, September 12, 2011

Players from all parts of Wales took a share of the honours at the Junior Welsh National Tennis Championships in Cardiff.

Some 230 players took part in the tournament, organised by Jenny Broughall of Tennis Wales, and held across three venues in the capital - Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club was the main venue, with Mini Tennis events at David Lloyd Cardiff and at UWIC.

“It’s a real thrill to see so many of our young players together in one event,” said Tennis Wales chief executive Peter Drew.

“What’s especially exciting is that we had winners from all over the country, and the high standard of competition really makes it clear that we have a strong cohort of players coming through.”
