Pudsey Players in Grantham

On Saturday four of Pudsey’s under thirteen youngsters made the trip to compete at Grantham. The squad consisted of Neil Dattani, Vishal Dattani, Ellen Auty and Nicole Finn.

Top performer on the day was Neil who knocked out the number four seed in his group of U11 boys. Neil with another good performance progressed to the semi-final to face the number 1 seed Scott Evans. Losing the first game 11-8 Neil responded with more attacking shots and was a bit unlucky to lose the next two games by the finest of margins 12-10. Brother Vishal found the going hard in the U13 winning two games but still not progressing through the group.

In the girls Nicole Finn progressed through her U13 group winning all three of her matches including a fine win over England ranked ( 29) Rachel West. Ellen found the going tough but showed determination to win her last game in the U13 girls.
