The bad weather continued with heavy rain for most of the day making it impossible to play on Harlow’s outdoor courts which was a real shame as we were all looking forward to the first event at this new venue.
Fortunately we were able to secure indoor courts for most of the tournament at Chapel Allerton with just a couple of games played outdoors by a couple of brave players. Thanks to them.
There were two events. First up was the men’s open. Top seed Thomas Horsley came through to beat Adam Dixon second seed 4-1 4-2. Ennis Fearon-Taylor won the consolation event 4-2 4-0 against Leo Van.
In the 16u Boy’s event Hugh Shackleton won the event beating both first and second seeds. The score in the final against Savinien Biock 4-2 2-4 10-5 in a tight final.
Lewis Hodkin-Chell won the consolation event being another victim to an in form Hugh in the first round.
