Lauren Theedom took the U/15 Bronze Tournament in Cornwall by storm winning both the ladies Singles and the Ladies Doubles with Vicki Prouse. Lauren not only plays at queens bc but is also on the Performance Centre pathway working closely with Helen Ward.
It is great to see such young players doing so well and making their mark in national tournaments. I am sure this won't be the last success that we will see from Lauren. This was a great weekend with Sarah Preece winning the Ladies Doubles at an Adult Silver graded tournament. This is on the back of Sarah's success at previous weeks Devon Restricted tournament.
