Junior Match Results 2010 –
AEGON Team Tennis Bucks
Summer Report: This year’s junior matches involved some excellent tennis, some great results and most importantly some competitive but enjoyable games for our junior members.Our girls teams had some tough matches with 5 out of 6 defeats being decided by a Championship tie-breaker.
On the boys side, the Under 14 team finished the season unbeaten and winners of their Division 2, many congratulations to Elliot, Spencer and Matt on some terrific results. Our U16 boys finished mid-table having played 3 very close, hard fought matches and our boys U12 managed 4 excellent wins but were just pipped to the Division 2 title, well done to Callum, Harry and Tommy.
Many thanks to all the parents who helped organise matches and to Tom for his continuous help and involvement with everything Junior!

The Junior / Senior Tournament a report by Richard King
It
was the Mayday Bank
Holiday and the weather was somewhat suspect as eight of the
Club’s leading
junior players along with a motley bunch! of eight senior members
arrived for,
what proved to be, a morning of on-court thrills and spills.Thankfully
the format
worked great and after the youngsters and the geriatrics had weighed
each other
up, like a pair of sparring boxers, the morning settled into some
highly
competitive and fun matches.
The juniors were
playing some fantastic tennis and without doubt bringing out the best
in the
seniors.
The
early running
though saw young Rosa Halliday and Alex Hattam storm to the top of the
junior
leaderboard with Helen “the fox” Marlow and
Beverley “the beaver” Halliday
pressing ahead in the seniors.
By
round three the
competition was intense with Elliott Irving leading the juniors and
Isaac “the
geezer” McGowan sneaking his way up the seniors chart.
However there were still
a number of players in contention and by the time the last round kicked
off it
remained all to play for.
There
was no love lost
in the Mother and son partnership of Jane and Spencer King against the
formidable duo of Tom “the coach” Dean and Emily
Halliday, some high quality
tennis was played but by this stage the cream had risen to the top.
As
lunchtime
approached, Cameron Buckman had emerged triumphant and was duly crowned
‘King
of the Kids’, while Nick “the wolf” Wolfe
joined him on the podium having
snatched the title of ‘Top Senior Citizen’
– congratulations to both of you.
The
tournament proved
to be a big success and a seriously huge thank you to everyone who
played and
helped to make it so much fun, you were all brilliant.
Hopefully
we can plan
another similar event later in the season and involve more members,
both young
and OLD!
