It's been a while since i last posted on here, actually this being the first time since 2011. In January i missed a couple of matches for my local club due to the reccurance of a knee injury.
The last weekend of January i played in the Devon Open to gain some singles practice for the senior nationals the following weekend. I lost in the semi final in a tight three sets, considering the lack of hard training and the injury i didn't play too bad.
During the following week i had physio sessions and then took the decision to pull out of the singles event in the senior nathionals, dissapointing as this is my main event but doubles and mixed would be easier on my knee. I ended up winning the ladies doubles title and lost in the final of the mixed 30-28 in the third set.
I was selected for the welsh team to go to the european team event the following week with fellow RVBA player Sarah Thomas but i had to withdraw due to my knee, gutted but i think it was the right decision.
After some much needed rest from tournaments i played some matches for mid-glamorgan county. This weekend the mid glam team including fellow RVBA players/coaches Gareth Day,Rachel Thomas and Liam Ingram, we travelled to Guernsey and Jersey. We beat Guernsey 11-4 and Jersey 9-6 which now guarantees us to win the league.
This weekend i have a tournament in Bournemouth where i am hoping to do well in preperation for the final of the Spanish Club League match at home in Seville on the 9th April.
I am now going to try and write a blog each week so i don't have to write an essay like this again :)
