11 & Under Girls
Captain: Dave Hillier Assistant Captain: Zarah Mughal
Team Amarachi Ikem, Jia Kochhar, Esha Kumar, Chloe Lau and Vanessa Zelca.
The 11 & Under Girls had a tough start with a long rain delay! Once they got on court they started strong winning all 4 singles rubbers against West of Scotland, the dead doubles rubbers were not played due to the rain delay. The team then took on a strong Yorkshire team which saw lots of close matches. 2-2 after the singles with a match tie break win for Amarchi and loss for Jia, the doubles were all square too with a win and a loss meaning the score was 3-3. A match shoot out for girls at 8.30pm, after a great fight from the girls it wasn't to be.
Sunday saw the Girls take on Herefordshire & Worcestershire for 3rd/4th place. After a long day on Saturday and a very late bedtime the girls team spirit help them get off to a great 3-1 start after the singles. The teams split the doubles rubbers which saw Lancashire finish 3rd with a 4-2 win over Herefordshire & Worcestershire,
Well done to all the players and captains. The results can be found here
