Cheltenham Boys College. Darren
Griffin and Dave Harvey managed
to battle through to both the
final of the Mens' singles and
the Veterans' singles

biting finals Griffin was
triumphant in the Mens' singles
in a very tight five set match.
This is the 17th time
that Griffin has won this title.
Harvey later won the Mens'
Veterans Crown. Ann Barnes was in fine form and retained her County singles title by beating Melanie Garlick into runners up spot. |

County Cadet Championships 2009/10
Gavin Collings (Team manager), Graham and Lesley Slack (Team coaches) and Janie Kirby (County Umpire) travelled to Evesham to support Gloucestershire’s cadet team in the first round of the County Championships. This was the first outing for this very young and inexperienced team, which consisted of Jack Collings (Cheltenham), Simon James (Cheltenham), Joe Ansley (Cheltenham), Corrie Hart (Cirencester) and Hannah Leggott (Cheltenham).
 |
| L-R: Hannah Leggot, Jack Collings, Corrie Hart, Joe Ansley and Simon James |
Gloucestershire competed in Division 1B
in the County Championships and their
first match was against Gwent, whose
team consisted of
Alexander O’Connell,
Ashley Perry, Alexander Williams,
Charlotte Carey and Elizabeth Roberts.
Several of the Gwent team are very
experience players for their age and
travel to the ETTA Grand Prix events
that are staged around the Country.
The final result was Gwent 9, Gloucestershire 1.
Jack Collings was the
only player to steal a point for the
county side and was unlucky not to win a
second game in their match against tough
opposition. Simon James also came very
close to winning two of his games.
In their second encounter of the day,
yet another strong Welsh side crossed
their paths, this time it was Glamorgan
2 whose team comprised of some very
experienced players in the guise of Alex
Francis, Conner Edwards, Ashley
Stavrakis, Naomi James and
Caris Webster.
Jack Collings was the only player to gain a point for Gloucestershire and was unlucky not to gain a second deserved win, whilst Simon James also gave his heart and soul but could not manage to gain that elusive win.
The final result was Glamorgan 2nds 9, Gloucestershire 1
Jack, Simon, Joe, Corrie and Hannah played with passion and determination throughout these extremely tough matches and never lost heart or considered giving up. The team put in a very courageous first performance to be proud of.
