Sunday 18th December and while the rest of Team Leics had downed rackets for a well-deserved Xmas break, Tom Cowperthwaite travelled north as our sole representative at the U17 silver event being held at Stockton on Tees.
Justifying his seeded status, Tom progressed through from the group stages, winning all his matches without dropping a game. He was beaten in the semis by a very strong Scottish player who went on to win the event, with 3 of the 4 singles medals going to raiders from across the border – Tom’s well-deserved bronze being the only English success in this event!
