Bude Tennis Club Under 8's tournament took place on Saturday 26th September. It was a big draw with 14 players taking part and for many it was there first ever tournament experience. Box matches started the event with the winners and runners up then going through to a knock out stage. There were some very close matches throughout these stages. The Semi Final games were very exciting! Sammuel Jennings (7) played against Kyle Brown (7) in the first Semi final, there was some fantastic play from both players where Kyle played a very attacking serve volley game including some smashes! Sammuel Jennings found a way to pass Kyle at the net and battled on to win the match 10-8! The other Semi final match was Solly Kemball-Dorey against Ellie Turner, both played a great game and Solly was the eventual winner 10-2. The crowd then gathered to watch the final Sammuel versus Solly, it was the first final both players had been involved in, Sammuel Jennings played a great match and became the winner of the Under 8's Championships without losing a game!! Congratulations to both players who did very well throughout the whole tournament.

Other awards were given out for players who performed well and had a great sportsmanly attitude, these awards were given to Jago Barriball and Ellie Turner. Thankyou to everyone who helped out on the day.
