Success for Sarnians

THREE Guernsey juniors have returned from the Cheltenham Junior Tennis Tournament having been rewarded for their hard work in training.

ob West, currently based at Millfield, Dom McLuskey and Heather Watson, travelled with high expectations.

Watson reached the final of the under-12 girls' singles, in which she narrowly lost in a third-set tie-break to a close friend of her, Sian Bayliss.

McLuskey reached the semi-finals of the under-16 boys' singles, in which he lost to another Millfield pupil, Rob Lowe, 7-5 6-3.

However, playing up an age group, he reached the final of the under-18 boys' singles in which he, coincidentally, had to play West.

In the all-Guernsey affair, West had the better start and held his nerve in the second set to win 6-1 6-3.

The two Sarnians also reached the final of the under-18 boys' doubles, in which they ran out comfortable winners, 6-3 6-2, against the Oxford pair of David Tuck and Tom Astle.
