​Ben McKay finished second overall and qualifies for the Nationals in the boys U15s Regional qualifiers held at the club on Saturday just losing in the fifth to the winner from Sussex the finals will take place in Wolverhampton in May. A very large entry of 36 boys from Kent, Sussex & Surrey & 14 girls. A side note Amelie Dodd also qualifies for the Nationals in the U11 girls uncontested.

So a massive finish to NJL yesterday with Cleeve Park Red just pipping Byng Hall Red Ben Mckay, Isabel Webb, Emily Koester, Oli Matthews. Ben finished unbeaten on the day, the team went into the final session one point ahead of Cleeve Red with all to play for in the final, we only needed to draw to win the whole event, but despite some amazing games from all our players, Ben won his two, we now needed the girls to pick up one between them, but it wasn't to be on the day, despite a valiant effort from both Issy and Emily producing some outstanding performances and a few 5 setter marathons, in particular the last match of the day between Emily & Mate Nagypal which again went to five with Emily being 9-6 down in the fifth and battling back to finally lose out at deuce. So we had to settle for Silver with Cleeve going home with Gold. Huge thanks to all the team for making the event so successful through these terrible Covid restrictions. Nick Smith, Neil Marsden, Tony Davies, Rob Webb, Mark Dodd to name but a few.
