Hi Team Stony Tennis,
It was a weekend to remember for Team Stony Tennis as two of our standout young players, Mia and Annia, put on a brilliant display of skill, grit, and teamwork to help Buckinghamshire secure a fantastic Silver medal at the 8&U Inter-County Regional competition. Facing off against some of the best young talent in the region, the girls proved they belong at the very top.
It was a weekend to remember for Team Stony Tennis as two of our standout young players, Mia and Annia, put on a brilliant display of skill, grit, and teamwork to help Buckinghamshire secure a fantastic Silver medal at the 8&U Inter-County Regional competition. Facing off against some of the best young talent in the region, the girls proved they belong at the very top.
The tournament kicked off with a fast-paced group stage, where Bucks made an immediate statement. They opened with a dominant 5–1 victory over Cambridgeshire before carrying that momentum into their second match, defeating a tough Essex side 4–2. While they stumbled slightly against Northamptonshire in a hard-fought 4–2 loss, their strong overall performance safely booked their ticket to the knockout rounds.
From there, the drama only intensified. The semi-final against Hertfordshire was an absolute nail-biter, ending in a tense 3–3 deadlock. With a spot in the final on the line, the decision went down to a points count-back, which Bucks dramatically clinched by just 8 points.
The final against Berkshire proved to be an equally epic battle. History repeated itself as the teams fought to another breathtaking 3–3 tie. It came down to the absolute wire, but unfortunately, luck wasn't on Bucks' side this time, narrowly missing out on the Gold medal by a microscopic 9-point count-back.
As coach, I am incredibly proud of both Mia and Annia. Watching their rapid improvement week in and week out is an absolute joy, and earning the opportunity to represent Bucks against the region's elite is a testament to their hard work. Taking home a regional Silver medal is a massive achievement, and this is just the beginning—there is undoubtedly lots more to come from these two over the years.
Please join everyone at Team Stony Tennis in giving Mia and Annia a huge congratulations for making us all so proud!
Happy tennising!
