David Lloyd Leeds Grade 5 30 September

Another new and fantastic venue which we hope to use regularly. Those who enter the tournaments and parents of the children can also use the extensive facilities of the club including gym and indoor and outdoor pools a great bonus.

It was a busy day starting with the mini green 10 and under played in the bubble followed by the Mini orange and red on the indoor courts. There was a big turnout with 32 mini’s playing and a reserve list for all events. There were 16 entries for the men’s and 8 for the women’s fast4 events.

In the Mini Green event it was a very strong field with all players of Green 1 rating some representing Yorkshire for their age group. The winner was Louis Hull who powered through the group before coming through a tight semi final 4-3(5-1) v Zak Lloyd. In the final he beat his close friend James Wilson 4-2 to take the trophy.
