Date

Hampshire & IOW 18U Boys were in Group 3B which was held at Aldershot Tennis Centre over the weekend of 1st – 3rd March 2024

The Team was:         Arthur Attrill, Hayden Cummings, George Day, Jesse Frank Abu, Thomas Hargreave, Tuna Lokman, Jonathan Snyman, Hari Walton

Team Captains:        Mike Booth and Paul Scullard

Other counties:         Berkshire, Leicestershire, West of Scotland

Day 1 – West of Scotland

Our first match was against a very strong West of Scotland team.  We got off to a slow start losing the first two singles, but we got an important win from Hayden at 4 and wins at 2 and 1 from Arthur and George taking it to the doubles.  Tuna and Hari had a great win at number 3 and George and Arthur managed to come through in the 3rd set tie-break to give us a vital win.

Day 2 – Leicestershire

On the second day we had to play the loser of the other tie which was Leicestershire.  Tuna and Hari came in at 5 and 6 and we managed to win all 6 singles and 2 of the doubles to give us a fantastic 8-1 win.

Day 3 – Berkshire

On the last day, we knew all we had to do was beat Berkshire to get promotion.  Once again we got off to a flyer winning all 6 singles to give us the victory and a well deserved promotion to Group 2.

Congratulations to the boys for some outstanding performance and a very enjoyable and successful weekend.  Thanks also my Vice-Captain, Paul Scullard, for all his hard work and to the players’ families that came to support us.
