Bromsgrove Prep School – Tennis Double Champions

19 May 2017

Congratulations to Stuart Shannon, Bromsgrove Preparatory School student who over the Easter break (11th-13th April) played in the U14 Boys’ Doubles at the Waverley Bruntsfield Sports Junior Open, held at the Waverley Lawn Tennis Club, Edinburgh. This is one of the most prestigious Grade 3 events on the LTA Regional Tour.

Stuart and his tennis partner Thomas Horsley from Yorkshire progressed through the early rounds and a close Semi-Final (6-7, 7-5, 11-9) to contest an exciting and nerve-racking Final which they won in three sets, 3-6, 6-4, 13-11! As the 2017 U14 Doubles champions for this event, they will have their names engraved on a trophy that has Jamie Murray as a previous winner in 1998.
