10 & Under Girls
Captain: Sarah Hillier Assistant Captain: Ella Taylor
Team Jia Kochhar, Kendra Oluwa, Ava Ormes, Ellie Stickland and Luciana Trivino
The teams first match on Saturday morning was against local rivals Yorkshire, the players were prepared for a tough battle but started really strong winning all the 4 singles matches, we then won 1 and lost 1 doubles match to give a final results of 5-1 Lancashire! A great start for the girls. Next up South Wales which turned out to be our toughest match. 2 wins and 2 loses in singles meant it was all down to the doubles! 2 tough duobles matches one match tie break loss and one match tie break win match it was 3-3, a match shoot out to 10 points to decide the winner! Ellie and Kendra stepped up to the challenge and won 14-12! After a intense day it was time to go home for a rest before battling against Cheshire and Durham & Cleveland on Sunday.
Sunday morning saw more tough matches but with great resilence and fight from the girls we beat Cheshire without losing a match which gave the team confidence and renewed fight against the last match of the weekend which we knew the team needed to win to be crowned Champions! A win is what they got 4-2 Lancashire!
Lancashire are Champions, a great effort from all the girls, parents and captains after a great weekend of close matches. Well done everyone!
