Northern hosts another Junior Tournament. (Feb.2010)
|
A 2010 graded tournament was held at the Northern over a weekend in February,
with over 35 juniors from the North West taking part.
|
|
|
|
On the Saturday, the E2 grade was won by the Northern's Olly Kidd (left)
beating Joe McCombe (below left) in a hard hitting final.
Losing semi-finalist Ricky Langland (below right) of Central Fitness in St.Helens won the outstanding player award.
Dominic James (centre) of Xavians also performed well on the day, claiming a 3rd place award.
|
|
|
In the D2 grade Will Kynaston (below left) contested a good quality all Northern final against Tom Alman (centre)
who pushed him all the way, Will eventually winning 22-20.
Matthew Fell (below right) was third placed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last year's runner-up in the D1 category Alex Berry (left) returned to beat Central’s Connor Sheen (right)
in a much closer than expected final.
|
|
|
|
On the Sunday, the Northern cleaned up in the F2 grade with Sophie Griffiths
and Ryan Balmer (below centre) claiming 3rd place awards.
Special mention in this category to Callum Snaylam,
who at only 6 years old was narrowly beaten in the quarter-final by Callum Judge (below left).
|
|
|
Callum then progressed to the final where he was beaten by his brother Declan Judge (above left) last year's runner-up.
For many of the youngsters in this category it was their first event and all performed well,
Louisa Burns (below right) winning the outstanding player award.
|
|
|
|
The F1 grade was once again the most competitive section with a number of potential winners,
but in the end it was the excellent Scott Snaylam (left) of Northern beating LCC’s Dominic Tosh (below left) in the final.
Dominic had earlier beaten Adam Tweedle (second left) in a close semi-final.
|
|
|
The other losing semi-finalist was Matthew Powell (second right) of LCC.
Matthew performed particularly well on the day and received an outstanding player award.
Northern's Matthew Brady (right) also received an outstanding player award.
