WHAT A START!!!

Carmarthen What a start to the junior Team Championship of Wales. As the first ever junior team to be entred by Carmarthen they won every match today and are currently sitting top of the division. The morning session started against Cathays with a 6-1 win. Then the following match we faced Greenhouse with a 5-2 win. The next match against Newport was our toughest by far with the doubles match proving vital for a match win. The doubles went to the 5th end and we scraped a win. The match ended 4-3 with some great performances from George Powis, Paul Joules and Niall Owen. Well done boys lets carry it through to the next one!! Swansea Juniors A The first match was against Greenhouse C 10.00 am start Swansea lost this match 5-2 Max Clews won both games for Swansea and both Tommy Haydon & Peter Morse put in solid performances against a strong Greenhouse C side which will be a top side in the second division. The second match was against Catheys Cardiff A 12.30 start Swansea won this match 5-2 Max Clewes won both his games and Max & Tommy then won the doubles. The match was sealed with good wins by both Tommy & Peter. The third match was against North Gwent 15.00 start Swansea won this match 4-3 Max Clewes won both his games and assisted in the doubles by Tommy won in the 5 set this was an important win giving Swansea 3-1 lead Tommy also picked up 1 win. Peter fought really well against Laura Edwards and Laura Price. All three Swansea players conducted themselves really well and I think they will have enjoyed and learned from the day’s experience. Player of the day has to go to Max Clewes who won all his games but was well supported by both Tommy Haydon and Peter Morse. Kevin Gertsen
