Rosie Evans from Norwich won a mini orange winter county event in Lincolnshire to reach the linked finals in Nottingham on November 7.
Eight-year-old Evans won all four matches in a tough group to come out on top of the event, held at Boston Tennis Club.
As the only player from outside of Lincolnshire competing, Evans won all of her matches in straight sets with only Bethany Ryalls providing any sort of threat.
After edging through the first set 8-6 against Ryalls, Evans moved up a gear to race away with the second set 7-1.
Comfortable wins against Faye Coffey, Lucy Josephine Hull and Lorna Bowser completed her successful trip and secured her spot in the linked event at the City of Nottingham Tennis Centre.
Norfolk had two representatives in the boy's event, which took a slightly different format as play-off places would be decided by finishing positions in the first group stage.
Jamie Rice lost his first match against higher rated Jake Holt from Lincolnshire but recovered well to battle past Greg Colclough in three sets.
It was a similar story for Harvey Lake who won one of his matches but lost to the top player in the box Luke Patten.
As both Lake and Rice finished second in their boxes they faced each other in a play-off for third and fourth place which Rice won 7-1, 7-5.
