Head Coach Steve Bauer, who organised the event, said: “We’re grateful to the LTA for giving us the opportunity to put on this event. It’s so important that all players can experience regional events and be part of competitive sport. We have an amazing team of volunteers from Pershore Tennis Centre who were able to umpire the matches and support players to make this event a really memorable one.”

LTA Referee Steven Pilcher, who ran the tournament, said: “Pershore’s Learning Disability Tournament was up there as one of the best Learning Disability events I’ve refereed.”
