A RECREATIONAL tennis tournament has been launched in Wrecclesham.

The Play Series are non-rating matches for recreation and pre-competitive players, and each event concludes with a skills competition.

The opening series was held at Wrecclesham Tennis Club, near Farnham, and featured an orange ball event with 18 players taking part in singles and doubles games to score points for their team.

The winners of the orange ball event were Team William, which was made of Peter Headey, Nathan Bailie, Bethany James, Sophie Clark, Sean Elliott and Karolina Jakstyte, while Sean Elliott was the undefeated champion, Ethan Woods took the prize for best attitude, and Euan Morris was the skills competition winner.

The green ball event followed with six players taking part in competitive singles and fun doubles practice.

Harry Finch was crowned singles champion, Oliver Hamer took the prize for best attitude, and Oliver Hamer was the skills challenge winner.

And the final tournament of the week saw 19 players compete in the red ball event, played in a similar format to the orange ball tournament.

The quintet of Dante Seiderer, Isla Somerville, Connor Young, Bobby Hart and Joshua Mortimer made up the victorious Team William, George Headey, Oliver Anderson and Joshua Mortimer were the undefeated singles champions in their respective groups, Milo Ramage, Cecily Acheson-Gray and Jacob Bavin were deemed to play with the best attitude, and Jacob Bavin and Joshua Mortimer were the skills challenge winners.

An event spokesman said: "There were lots of great matches played in each event, which was well supported by the parents who stayed to watch. A massive thank you to the volunteer umpires for making the events run so smoothly, to

Wrecclesham Tennis Club for hosting the events, and to frosteopathy.com for sponsoring our skills competition with little trophies."
