Why were there no Hampshire players in the under 19 national championships

[horace]

I attended the under nineteen national championships as a line judge, I could not comment on any players from my home county because there was none?

Hello Horace,

Not wishing to name any names etc, but do we have any Under 19's going forward at national level? I honestly don't know myself and would be intersted to know?

Yes we do have a very good player called Andrew Smith, who is 18 ( I think ). He is ranked 10 in England for the mens senior ranking, I know he does not play many junior events, perhaps he had another more important tournament!!

Horace,
I spoke to David Hunt at the Nationals. As you may know he coaches at Portsmouth University in Hampshire. He said he is working with three youngsters of exceptional singles ability. Perhaps we can persuade him to tell us more about them!
