| It was a successful two weekends for the junior Blossomfield tennis club players at the North Warwickshire Doubles Finals, played at Edgbaston Archery. After months of playing through the group stages, Blossomfield were well presented in most of the Finals. The first weekend saw the boys and girls doubles finals. The first to play were the girls U10 which saw Sophie White and Carianne Roberston of Blossomfield reaching and winning their first doubles tournament with a 5 – 3 4 – 2 win over Edgbaston Archery. Next up saw the boys U14 final with Oliver Kitching and Luke Styler playing Solihull Arden. After a slow start which saw the Blossomfield pair go 3 - 0 down they clawed their way back into the match to narrowly win the first set 7 - 5. In the second set Arden took control winning it 6 - 1, but this only spurred on the Blossomfield pairing who then played fantastically to win the match tie break 10 - 3. |
