Burton Juniors Excel

At the Kendal & District League Annual Tournament, which was held at Kirkby Stephen Grammar School last month, Burton TTC juniors, Zach Martin and Zach Crewdson excelled. Zach Martin, age 10, reached the semi-final of the Under 11 singles and 8-year-old Zach Crewdson was runner-up in both the Under 13 and the Under 16 doubles. A great effort by both boys. Zach Crewdson also played in the first ever Cumbria 1 Star Open Table Tennis Tournament, also at the excellent Kirkby Stephen venue, and was runner-up in his group, which contained 7 players. This was a fantastic achievement by one of the youngest players in this Table Tennis England event.

The Kendal & District Senior League is now reaching its final stages and Division 2 has been completed. Burton C, captained by Simon Waring finished second, just 4 points behind champions, Natland E. Burton D, captained by Martin Wakelin, were third in this 9-team division.
