Amy Hutchings and Zak Cantor illuminate Blackpool.
Posted by George Lennon on 23 January 2016
Amy Hutchings ends 2015 in style by winning the Junior Girls Final in Blackpool to secure the title of the last 2 star tournament of the year. Head Coach, George Lennon watched Amy qualify through the group stages in superb style with a display of poweful counter hitting. Amy continued her impressive form that she has displayed all season to beat Alice Dillon in the final. Some of our boys were also in action on the day, an excellent performance by Zak Cantor, who was runner-up in the Junior boys final losing to England number 14 Josh Harland. Michael Lennon played well to reach the quarter finals and his highlight of the day was beating Daniel Olsberg, who had beaten Michael in the final of the Lancashire banded event last season. Colby Casey and young Jarod Bithell had their first taste of tournament play, Colby played well to win his group in the Junior boys and Jarod had a real baptism of fire by drawing the number 2 seed in his opening group match in the under 11's. Jarod didn't get through the group but he did gain valuable experience in his first tournament. Jarod is one of our youngest players and is enjoying his first season with the club. The next Blackpool 2 star unfortunately clashes with the Burton 1 star and the Warrington Championships (being held at Lowton High School for the first time this year) all scheduled for Sunday 28th February. Get your entry forms in if you want to compete in any of these tournaments.
