It was a fantastic day held on Sunday at Lexden Rackets & Fitness Club, who were fantastic hosts. The committee worked tirelessly to make the event happen and run smoothly. We were really grateful to those who offered help with refereeing and to Tim & Elli helping with updating all the scores too.
A massive well done to all those who played in the Essex Junior Closed 2024. There were some brilliant matches and the most improved player of the tournament was Luca Batley.
