Orla Cooper and Oliver Vesely continued in their good form in the Yorkshire Winter County Tour event at John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds this weekend.

Oliver came through a tough first match 4:2,1:4, and finally 10:7 in a tie break against his highly rated adversary Alexander Moore from Bolton Arena.

Jacob Chadwick returned to competitive tennis after breaking his arm in October, at the WCT 10U event in Hull. Jacob had a slow start against local talent Tom Jacobs, losing 0:4,3:5, but his form gradually improved and he beat Robert Smith 5:4, 5:3 and Jack Newton in the consolation draw final 4:0,4:1.
