🔥🎾 Brilliant weekend for Dorset U14 Boys at County Cup Finals in Nottingham🔥🎾

💥 A huge effort from the team saw Dorset finish an impressive 6th overall against some of the strongest counties in the country 👏

🎾 Day 1 started with a tough match against Middlesex. The boys fought hard with Jayden securing a brilliant win at No. 2 singles but Middlesex proved to be too strong and took the win 5-1.

🎾 Next up came an epic showdown with Cheshire – with singles wins for Monty and Jayden, a doubles win for Jayden and Josh, Dorset edged the match in a dramatic shootout tiebreak with Jayden and Ethan producing an impressive 10-1 win 💪

🎾 Dorset then faced Cambridgeshire in a scoreline that didn’t reflect the hard fought matches. Jayden continued his unbeaten singles run while Ethan and Josh were desperately unlucky to lose tight match tie-break battles. 5-1 Cambridgeshire.

💥 With the team playing for 5th/6th place on Sunday, up against a strong Yorkshire team, Dorset once again put up a good fight with Jayden winning his singles and Jayden and Monty, doubles. Yorkshire also battled hard and claimed 5th place with a 4-2 win.

💥 Superb effort from the team all weekend, fantastic tennis and amazing team spirit, huge well done and thanks to all.

🙏 Big thanks to Captains Rob and Gary 👏

💥 10U County Cup Round-Up 💥

💥 A tough opening match for our boys team on Saturday against strong opponents Surrey. Although the win went to Surrey, the boys showed incredible grit and determination in their battle for second place against Hants & IoW. The match went right down to a tense shootout, with Hants & IoW edging the win 12–10.

💥 Full of enthusiasm and team spirit, the team returned on Sunday to face Wiltshire. After a series of hard-fought matches, Dorset secured a fantastic 5–1 victory 💪👏

💥 An amazing weekend of great tennis and camaraderie, enjoyed by all.

🚀 Our girls team enjoyed a brilliant weekend of tennis, competing against some of the toughest counties in the south.

💥 The team kicked off Saturday playing Kent in the morning, followed by Hants & IoW in the afternoon. Whilst the team’s positivity and effort levels were amazing, Kent (the eventual winners) and Hants & IoW both took the wins. Big shout out to Savannah for winning her singles in a match tiebreak against Hampshire 👏

💥 Still in high spirits, the team entered into Sunday taking on Essex as the final fixture of the weekend. In some super windy conditions the girls battled hard and with smiles all round the girls finished the weekend in 4th place.

Great determination and team spirit throughout the weekend 👏💪

🚀 HUGE well done to all 👏

🙏BIG thanks to all the parents/carers for their fantastic support and to our ace captains, Rob and Rob for the boys, Catherine and Stuart for the girls 👏🌟

💥Our 14U Girls team had an exciting weekend, in County Cup action at Queenswood School, competing for a place in the National Finals 🎾

💪 The team made a very strong start securing a 4-2 victory over Sussex followed by an impressive 5-1 victory against Hertfordshire, winning all four doubles matches to put themselves in an excellent position heading into the final qualifying round.

🎾 In a tightly contested decider against Nottinghamshire, the team fought hard but just missed out, going down 4-2 overall. The tie came down to the final doubles rubber, where Dorset narrowly lost their only doubles match 11-9 in the championship tie-break, so close to taking the match to a deciding tie-break shootout.

✨ Despite the narrow defeat, the team showed fantastic spirit and togetherness throughout the competition. The standard of tennis was high, and the girls represented Dorset brilliantly both on and off the court.

💥 A hugely positive weekend with plenty to be proud of, huge well done to all the players.

🙏Big thanks to Captains Rich Irwin and Catherine Lawson and to Rob Booth who made the trip on Saturday to support the team.

🎾 8U County Cup | Taunton Tennis Centre

💥 A great day of tennis all round for both our teams on the day showcasing some lovely matches with fantastic team spirit.

💥 The boys, up first, started brilliantly with a 10-0 win and didn’t look back winning all four matches of the day. Their doubles play was outstanding losing just once all day. A well-deserved finish as Winners! 🏆

💥 Girls were up next and also got off to a flying start with two wins out of two. The final two matches were nail-bitingly close and could have gone either way, both ending 5-5 and going to shootouts . Despite narrowly missing out in the deciding doubles, the team secured a fantastic joint second place🥈

✨ Super proud of all the players – great effort, focus and resilience across a lot of matches played.

🙏 Big thanks to Captains Adam and Justin and to all the parents/carers for their fantastic support.
