Junior Finals Day

Sunday was our Club Finals day - with plenty of excitement in our junior finals.

U13s: Adam Peer beat Harry Harland-Mears 3-1 in a well-contested final. Adam used accurate lob serves and delicate cross-court shots to take the first game. Harry responded well in the second by slowing his own game down and levelling at one game all. Adam refused to be panicked into changing tactics, however, parrying Harry's harder shots and resuming the effective serving he'd used in the first game as Harry began to lose some of his own accuracy in a desperate attempt to fight back.

Girls: Another good contest, with all three games fairly even, but Kate Czylok's deep serving and powerful volleying eventually proved too much for her opponent, Charlotte Davies, as she moved steadily to a 3-0 win. The match was played in a very sporting spirit, with plenty of handshakes and smiles on both sides!

U16s: A one-sided affair: despite Matt Haynes giving of his best and playing some very nice length shots he was rarely able to trouble Laurence Temple, who produced magnificent shots from all areas of the court to claim a comfortable 3-0 victory.

Finally the Cilla Fuller Award for most improved Comberton Junior went to Henry Prime - a popular choice - Henry has contributed to the Junior teams and played for the school U15 team as well.
