• Over the Easter holidays Easton College Tennis Centre ran junior 'Player Plus' tournaments, attracting players from all over the region.

The Player Plus format allows a coach to sit on court with the players to help develop their understanding of a match environment and is not run anywhere else for these age groups in the UK.

The events, each run over a day, were a huge success for Easton College Tennis Centre for attractting so many strong players from all over the region and the success of young players in the 10 & under event who train at the home centre.

Players from outside the county took the spoils in the nine & under events with the winners coming from Lincolnshire in the boys and Suffolk in the girls.

The highest placed Norwich players were Regan Bessey finishing third, Fred Withers fifth & Harry Wilson-Gotobed sixth who all train at Easton.

The following day, in the 10 & under event, Bessey, who only finished third the day before in the younger age group, upset the form book by walking away with the title. Runner up was Ben Chapman, who won an epic semi-final against the top seed from Lincolnshire, but found Bessey too hot in the final.

The girls 10 & under again saw the Easton players dominate with Emily Barrett taking the gold medal with a close win over Anna Thompson in the final.

'Emily had a great day today & really impressed at this new age group. If she continues to improve at this rate she could start to get some national recognition.'
