Sunday 21st April Dunlop Junior Cup U13’s and U19’s – Pleased to see two club players getting the opportunity to compete at this event. – Andrew playing U19’s at his first competitive competition and Oscar U13’s at just his second event.
U19’s Singles – U19’s In his first group match Andrew played well in what was a tight match, just losing out 1-3. – Whilst in the second match, his opponent was too strong (eventual U19’s winner) losing 0-3. – The third match after a good start Andrew continued to dominate the match eventually winning 3-0 which was a great result.
U19’s Doubles – In the doubles group stages Andrew and his partner had a good start playing well and winning their first two matches. – However in the final group match they lost 1-3 (to eventual U19’s double winners). – Onto the semi-final stage they didn’t start very well and at 0-2 it looked as if there was only going to be one winner. – However both players responded and levelled the match at 2-2. – In the final game it could have gone either way at 9-9. – Unfortunately it wasn’t to be and there opponents secured a 9-11 win. – A great effort by both players who had little practice but developed a good understanding as doubles player’s as they progressed. – Well done to Andrew at his first event. – Great to see him grow in confidence the more he played.
U13’s – A great start by Oscar in his first group match winning comfortably 3-0. – In the second match against a better opponent he played very well to win 3-1. – In the third and final match he faced a stronger opponent again but despite playing well he missed out this time losing 1-3. – As a result of his second place in the group he progressed to the quarter-final were he faced the most difficult opponent yet losing out 3-0.
U13’s Doubles – Oscar and his doubles partner started very well in their group matches winning their first two matches 3-0. – In the final doubles match despite playing well they lost out 1-3. – A place in the semi-final was secure. – However they showed signs of tiredness as they struggled against their semi final opponents and lost out 0-3. – Oscar has learned a lot since his first event and made good progress and that was in evidence today. – We thank Martin and his support team at Dunlop TTC for the invite and organising the event which was ideal for both our players.
