🎾 A BRILLIANT WEEKEND FOR OUR 12U COUNTY CUP TEAMS! 🎾

🏆 Congratulations to our 12U Boys - County Cup Champions 🏆

💥 What a weekend for our boys, who came away as County Cup Champions after an incredible run of tennis and a nail-biting final!

Playing at home venue East Dorset LTCC, the team made a flying start in Group B with two superb 6-0 victories against Cornwall and the Channel Islands.

Up against Group A winners Devon in the final, some hard-fought singles matches saw the score level at 2-2 heading into the doubles. Both doubles matches went to nail-biting match tie-breaks, with the teams eventually finishing 3-3 – a tiebreak shootout would decide the champions!

💪 Showing fantastic composure under pressure, Dorset secured the shootout 10-5, sparking brilliant celebrations from the boys and home supporters! 🎉🏆

🔥 The team – Shantanu, Samuel, Jack, Kuba, Jake

🌟 Fantastic weekend for our 12U girls 🌟

💥 A weekend of excellent tennis and tremendous team spirit from our girls team.

Playing in Play-Off Group 1A with a place in the National Finals at stake, the girls got off to a winning start with a 4-2 victory over Berkshire.

Next up was a very strong Cambridgeshire side who took the win 5-1, ending Dorset’s hopes of reaching the National Finals.

Showing great determination and team spirit, the girls headed into the final day fighting for 3rd/4th place against Avon. Dorset led 3-1 heading into the doubles, but Avon fought back strongly to win both doubles.

With the match level, another tiebreak shootout followed, with Avon eventually taking the win.

🔥 The team – Ophelia, Valentina, Nuala, Jemima, Lucinda, Elizabeth

💥 An outstanding weekend of tennis, with fantastic performances, determination and, as always, brilliant team spirit from everyone involved.

👏 A HUGE WELL DONE TO BOTH TEAMS!

🙏 Big thanks to captains James Pankhurst and Gary Toop for the boys, Rob Booth with Sienna Smith for the girls and to all the parents/carers for their fab support 👏
