The first match of the weekend was against the West of Scotland, the girls won the match 3-1 overall. Emily won her match 0-4, 5-3, 10-8. Rose unfortunately lost her match 4-2, 4-2 and Elizabeth won hers 5-3, 4-2. At 2-1 up there was pressure on Emily and Rose to win the Doubles and they didn’t disappoint. The girls put on a great performance winning 4-5(4-7) 4-2, 10-8. The Yorkshire parents and teammates showed great team spirit, cheering the girls on throughout the whole match.
The second match was always going to be a tough one against Cheshire. All the girls were unlucky to lose their singles, with many games going to deuce and great tennis being played. Emily was especially unlucky in her singles losing in a second set tiebreak. All the girls played some great tennis in very windy conditions. Ava and Elizabeth lost the doubles 5-3 4-2 with a very close first set, but showed great communication and team work.
The girls had a great start to the second day winning all their singles against Durham and Cleveland with ease. Ava and Elizabeth finished the weekend off with some great Doubles, including some amazing volleys to finish with a 4-0 win overall.
Unfortunately the girls came up against a strong north of Scotland team, with Emily losing her singles and Rose having to retire with a knee injury after one set in her singles. Elizabeth kept the girls in it winning her Singles comfortably 4-1, 4-1 meaning it was all still to play for in the Doubles. Emily and Elizabeth then tried their best in the Doubles, being unlucky to lose in a second set tiebreak which meant we lost 3-1 overall.
It was between Cheshire and the North of Scotland to go through to the finals; Cheshire held it together in the final Doubles match and ended up coming first meaning the North of Scotland finished second and Yorkshire third.
The girls fought hard in very windy conditions all weekend and showed great team spirit. Very proud!
