Sheen Shines
The third of this year’s Sussex Circuit tournaments was completed on Saturday 4th February alongside the county matches at K2 Crawley. Thirty-four kids competed for medal positions in Band A and B events in both the morning and afternoon while 10 of their county team mates competed in the Cadet County Championships.
After Emma Sheen’s impressive display at the recent Cadet County Premier Championships, where Sussex were crowned National Champions, she proved her outstanding potential by demolishing all before her without losing a set all day.
Sheen from Brighton won both Band A events - morning and afternoon - in impressive style. In the morning second place went to Sam Dallas (Horsham) after he beat third placed Ben Worley (Horsham) by 3 sets to 1.
In the afternoon runners-up spot went to David Poole (Horsham) who dropped just the one match against Sheen. There was a close count back situation between Alex Widdowson (Horsham), Ollie Field (Horsham) and Rory Fraser (East Grinstead), with Widdowson picking up third on sets ratios.
The morning B Band session saw Sean Worley victorious in every match dropping just one set all morning against Peter Lambert (Chichester) who picked up second spot after winning his last match 3-2 in a close encounter with Lauren Pound (Horsham). Third place went to Ollie Field who won the same number of matches as Baldwin but lost due to the fact that he dropped his match against him.
The afternoon session in Band B was another one sided affair for the victor Ben Taylor (Chichester) who also won all his matches 3-0 whilst at the same time representing the county for the third team. Second place again went to Lambert and third to Roddy McGillivray.
The matches were all played in excellent spirit sand organiser, Steve Pound, thanked all those people that helped him.
