10U Boys County Cup took place on home soil at Hoole Tennis Club. Tony Green and Max Enston were in charge of the team which included 6 players. The boys started strong against Hereford & Worcester winning all the singles matches and winning at number 1 in doubles, the only loss came at number 2 doubles. Next up was Derbyshire, again we won all the singles and this time we won both doubles beating Derbyshire 6-0 which set up a shootout with Yorkshire for top spot on Sunday. The boys were up against a very strong doubles team with us only winning 1 of the singles matches which meant we we’re 1-3 down going into doubles. Unfortunately for Cheshire we lost both doubles which meant we finished 2nd in the group.
Boys team - Aarav Gupta, Teddy Arthur Lynch, Ayaan Majeed, Yannick Mendler-Jackson, William Paramore, Martin Ruiz Isach.

The girls started the weekend very strongly beating Hereford & Worcester 6-0 with some standout performances from the girls. Next up for the girls was Derbyshire, where we won at 2,3, and 4. Lucia won at number 3 in a match tiebreak to give the girls momentum going into the doubles 3-1 up. We won both doubles convincingly to win the tie 5-1. On Sunday, the girls we’re up against Gloucestershire for top spot. The girls had to fight in in the matches winning some close matches in the singles and doubles. The girls we’re 3-1 up after the singles, which meant they only needed to win 1 doubles match. The girls managed to win both doubles and top the group to qualify for national finals. Well done to everyone involved.
