The 6 Nations Cadet Championships Team event in Lilleshall is now completed.
Both the Boys Team and Girls events were claimed by a strong French squad, in the Girls event Germany were the runners up while in the Boys it was Sweden. The French did not drop a point in either competition emphasing their relative strength.
For England the Cadet Boys finished 4th after a nail biting fifth set victory from Cosmin Stan of the Netherlands over Zac Zilnesic, 11-9 in the fifth in the final match of the competition, claimed the draw that the Netherlands needed to take third slot.
The Cadet Girls fought hard and took third spot with wins over pointless Denmark and the Netherlands plus a draw with Sweden. An excellent performance in this company.
Top performers for the England Squad were Sean Cullen for the Boys A team with 6 wins from 10 matches and Martha Travis for the Girls A team with 4 from 10. For the B teams Tin-Tin Ho had a marathon 50+ sets from 10 singles and 5 doubles and finished with 5 wins from 10 as did Lucy Davidson. In the Boys B Lewis Gray and Zac Zilnesic also had matching performances both winning 4 from 10.
