WALES FIND IT TOUGH IN PORTUGAL
Two Welsh Cadet teams travelled to Portugal to compete in the Portuguese Youth Open Tournament. The teams consisted of Daniel O Connell and Lewis Williams for the boys with Chloe Thomas and Charlotte Carey for the girls. The event was held in Tavira in the Algarve region of Portugal.
The tournament was very tough; it was probably the strongest junior tournament I have ever attended with some of the top ranked cadet and junior players in the world. The winner of the junior girls was Benadette Szocs who is currently ranked at number 10 in the world cadet ranking list.
