U17 Silver – July 2018

A strong draw for the first U17 silver in Milton Keynes with many players expected to be competing in Gold competitions this season.  Archie Bult, unseeded drew Zack Wooton in his box as the 3/4 seed, beating Zach to 15-11 and 15-9 and was otherwise relatively untroubled through the group.  In the Quarter final he played George Railton in what turned out to be the toughest match of the day managing to edge George 15-12 in a really tight third that looked like it could go either way right until the very end. In the Semi final he faced Elliot Roberts who had beaten the number 1 Seed in his quarter final.  Looking convincing in the first he won it to 11, but Elliott found another gear to fight back to win the second to 13 with Archie finally coming through 15-10 in the third.  In the final Archie played Tighe Crook, who had taken out some tough opposition to reach the final.  Archie took the first game to 7 but Tighe fighting well in the second to go right to the wire but Archie coming through 16-14 to round off a good day at the office.
