Heatwave shoutout to Robin here ( Ilfracombe Tennis Club ) and our own Edward Tavistock Tennis Club for a victory in the U12 Boys Doubles at the 26th Heron Open today. They battled bravely through the intense temperatures winning an excellent final 4-2 4-3 (7/5).

It was a great match with Samuel and Jack making up the 4 showing excellent sporting behaviour, check-ins re water intake and ensuring all were okay at the end of each game. Great work lads!
