**Very exciting news from the Netherlands - where the International Tennis Tournament for World Wide highly talented boys and girls was held 2nd - 9th Feb.
There were 11 countries partaking and our own Richie Kennedy won the U/11 event - beating Ferre Daneels from Belgium 7-5 4-6 6-3 in the Final.
What a performance Richie - that was a fantastic achievement.
He also reached the Final of the U/12 event but had to give a w/o as he had to catch his flight home.
The future sure looks bright for you, Richie! We are all hugely proud of you here in MLTC.
Cheers Stephen
