i havent started the season off to badly. Last week played in Langenfeld Under17. Beat the german in first round  in 3 hard sets! with the scores being 20-22, 21-19,21-18. I found the win of that match a huge positive as in the second set i was losing 12-17 and managed to keep focus and determination up to come back and win the both sets. Unfortunately in second round came across the number 1 seed girl and lost, she was just to good for me! this weeks training has been hard work involving a lot of singles practise ready for the \UK school games next week in gateshead!
