Hi Team Stony Tennis
I’m thrilled to share the fantastic achievements of our juniors at the recent Junior County Championships, held in the last week of August. Our club had a strong presence with 25 young players competing across Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Bedfordshire, and I couldn’t be more proud of how they represented Stony Stratford Tennis Club.
The Junior County Championship is a key event in the tennis calendar, where the best young talents from the region compete for the prestigious title of County Champion in their age groups. This year, our Team Stony didn’t just showcase their exceptional skills on the court—they also displayed incredible camaraderie and team spirit, supporting each other through every round of singles and doubles matches.
There were several standout performances that deserve special mention. Emily Marshall secured the 18&U Girls title, and Sofia Cancel triumphed in the 10&U Girls category. Charlie Harvey delivered a thrilling performance, winning the 18&U Boys title after a nail-biting third-set match against fellow club member, Kyle Babbage. In the 12&U Boys doubles, Robin Jones and his partner emerged victorious against our own Miguel Dadios and his partner, adding another title to our club’s achievements.
Emily didn’t stop there—she also reached the finals in both the Women’s Singles event and the 18&U Girls doubles, finishing as runner-up in both, showcasing her versatility and determination. Charlie Harvey continued his impressive run by winning both the Adult Mixed doubles and the 18&U Boys doubles with his partners.
There were also several other noteworthy performances. Sofia Hanak placed 4th in the 9&U Girls category, a testament to her significant progress over the past year. Ameya Polavajram fought hard to finish 4th in the 14&U Girls Singles, demonstrating her continuous improvement. Nicholas Morrell was the runner-up in the 16&U Boys final, just missing out on the title after a challenging final match.
Over in Northamptonshire, Jack Webb battled valiantly in the 14&U Boys final, narrowly losing in an epic third set that ended 11-9. However, he rebounded to win the 14&U Mixed doubles title with his partner. In Bedfordshire, despite suffering an injury, Ben Swallow showed remarkable resilience by reaching the final of the 14&U Mixed doubles.
I’m incredibly proud of all our players, not just for the titles they’ve won, but for the way they’ve supported each other throughout the competition. Great work, Team Stony!
Looking ahead, we’re excited to host our own Club Championships on Sunday, 8th September. It’s going to be a fantastic event, with many of our talented players set to compete. I encourage everyone to come along and watch some great tennis, and join me in cheering on our incredible young athletes as they continue to make their mark on the court.
Let’s keep the momentum going!!!
Happy tennising!
