IN the beautiful surroundings of Truro Tennis Club on Sunday, John Paish, County Performance Officer, organised a 13 & U Talent ID Sift in search for Cornwall's future stars. Over 40 children attended the sift in 4 age grouped sifts and John, with the help of Paul Roberts (County Development Officer), Ryan Fern (County Coach) and Eddie Wickett (Coach at St Austell TC), put them through their paces whilst ensuring that they all had a lot of fun as well. The smiles on their faces matched the sunshine that had finally appeared!
The children came from all over the County and we hope that many of the youngsters who attended will progress through being involved in the various Club based training squads that the County are currently involved in setting up.
Those children who attended were: Lindsay Blatchford, Ryan McClary, Melanie Underwood, Isaac Parnell and Nicholas Stevens from Bodmin. Claire Tresidder, Tristan Crawley, Nick Mason, Thomas Seaton and Ashley Quigley from Falmouth. Farah Ellen Ali, Jason Sparks, Tom Barber and Daniel Magee from Hayle. Emily Bettison from Liskeard. Peter Drown and Jake Libby from Looe. Annie Stevens from Mousehole. Billy Lane from Newquay. Ross Chapman, Lydia Clifton and Paul Stephens from Penryn. Imogen Harry, Lee Rich, Emily Wicks, Grace Matthews, Jade Richards, John Richards, Holly Langham-Rogers and Sam Long from Penzance. Mark Boulter, Dominic Bowden, Joseph Rowse-Thomas and Guy Michell from St Austell. Emile Gatta, Andrew O'Brien and Joshua Rowe-Harkon from St Ives. Anthony Buchanan from Saltash and Charlie Kemp from Truro.
