U17B Devon – December 2018

Jonathan Ewins at the U17B Devon – Won two Silvers

“Played my first tournament (U17B Devon) this season and proved a testing time ” I came through my box beating the 3/4 seed on the way, next the Quarter finals and won that 21-13. Then on to the semi finals where I played the number 1 seed for the tournament , kept my head and won that 21-11.  Onto the final where it was another seed, this time although I played well , my opponent showed his higher grading and I lost 21-15, lots to improve on, so Silver on the day.

Next we turned to the Boys doubles with my Fellow ForzaWM player, Archie Bult, we hadn’t played for a while and the change of discipline took a while to adapt, we won our box, then met the number 2 seeds and despite our lack of court time together managed to take it 26-24, too close for comfort.  We met the Number 1 seeds in the final , who proved why they were seeded Number 1 and lost 21-11. A long day but a good result for my first tournament, lots to work on with thanks to Forza WM for the continual support and encouragement.
