GLTC Junior Star William Shines at Norfolk Summer Series!

We’re proud to celebrate one of our rising stars here at Gorleston Lawn Tennis Club – 9-year-old William – who has recently delivered a brilliant performance at the Norfolk Summer Series tournament held at Stanmore.

Sporting his GLTC top with pride, William showcased outstanding determination and skill on court, winning three out of his four matches in a competitive box league of five players. His impressive results secured him second place overall, with scores of:

  • ✅ 10–7 win

  • ✅ 10–9 win

  • ✅ 10–4 win

  • ❌ 2–10 loss (to the eventual winner)

William impressed everyone with his classic serve-and-volley style – a nod to traditional tennis that’s rarely seen in such young players. His enthusiasm and sportsmanship were a credit not just to himself and his family, but to the whole club.

More information and photos from the event can be found on the Tennis Edge and Stanmore Tennis Club Facebook pages.

Well done, William – we’re incredibly proud of you! Keep training hard, enjoying the game, and most importantly, having fun. The future is looking bright!
