NATASHA REES WINS IN CHELTENHAM
Welsh players had an excellent weekend in Cheltenham, playing in the Cotswolds Junior 4*/3* Championships held in Cheltenham at the weekend. Natasha Rees won the Junior Girls event beating Megan Phillips in the final. Natasha also overcame another Welsh girl, Hannah Avery, in a very hard fought semi final.
Patrick Thomas came very close to emulating Natasha in winning his own junior category; however he was unable to overcome Richard Marshall in the final. Other good performances from the Welsh players were Huw Jones reaching the final of the banded Cadet Boys and Megan Phillips reaching the banded Cadet and banded Junior Girls finals.
All the players performed well on what turned out to be very long days, matches were still being played at 9.30pm on the Saturday and the overall event did not finish until after 7.30pm on the Sunday.
