Tournament referee Peter Cook said: “The tournament was played on an extremely wet, blustery day. We were very glad of the use of the club’s fantastic indoor dome.

“There were some really close, competitive matches which was very encouraging considering that some of the youngsters were playing in one of their first yellow-ball LTA-staged events.”
