Congratulations to the U13 Tennis who have qualified to the County Division 2 Team Tennis Finals, after beating AKS in the semi.
This was a really close rubber that could not be split. After four singles sets and two doubles sets, the scores were tied at three sets all. This meant we had to play a doubles shoot out, first pair to 10 points. With the doubles pairings being split from the previous two sets.
The pressure fell on Sam Willingale and William Gooch. After going down 2-1 the game could still not be split at 6-6 and you could cut the tension with a knife.
The Broughton pair held their nerve, stuck to their tactics and hit the ball true and hard and won the next four points to win the shoot-out 10-6 and the match.
We now play Stonyhurst in the final. Good luck.
Team: Oliver Bunker, Sam Willingale, William Gooch, Hayyan Shahid.
