RAINFORD Tennis Club players Cameron Ashley-Jones and Maisie Lavelle were winners at this week’s Liverpool Easter Tournament.
Ashley-Jones and Lavelle fought off the competition from across the North of England to win their respective events on the indoor courts at Liverpool Tennis Centre.
In the 14 and under boys’ singles, Cameron Ashley-Jones won all of his matches without dropping a set, including a 6-1 6-1 victory over top seed Robin Bloomer from Crewe in the final.
It was a double celebration for the 14-year-old from Eccleston, who has been selected to represent Lancashire in this summer’s Aegon County Cup.
Lavelle was victorious in the 12 and under girls’ singles.
The 11-year-old, who is coached at Rainford Tennis Club by Dave Hillier, fought through some close matches on her way to the final where she overcame Charlotte Margetson from Huddersfield in three sets.
Lavelle ended the winter season top of the Lancashire County Leaderboard following victories in both 12 and 14 and under county events.
