Burton Uxbridge 1*Star Junior Open

This weekend saw four Cardiff Regional players travel to Burton Uxbridge for the 1*Star Junior Open. Macauley Morgan, Alasdair Weir, Elliot Weinburg and Joseph Roberts made the trip with Regional Coach Simon Oyler.

After an early morning trip, it was Joseph Roberts who showed what he is capable of by winning all his matches in the Under 11's Round Robin group of 7 players to make up for his second place last time around. Joseph played extremely well and was very happy to win his first 1*Star title.

Macauley was the only player to get through both Junior and Cadet groups and lost in the quarter finals of both to the same player. Elliot Weinburg and Alasdair Wier lost out in both Junior and Cadet Groups on countback.

The young welsh superstar Joseph Roberts continued his form into the Under 13's event. Joseph won his group beating Sam Welsh to top spot. Joseph won his quater final match 3-0 to set up a semi-final showdown with the young and talented Joey Chen. Joseph started well in the first set but went down 11-9, the second set also went to the young chen 11-6. After being 2-0 down Joseph showed some great determination to try and get back into the game but it just wasn't to be on this occasion and lost out 13-11 in the 3rd set.

All the players showed great courage and determination to do their best at the tournament, it is now back to the training hall to put in more hard work to better ourselves next time around.

Congratulations to the Joseph Roberts who at 9 years old won his first Under 11s 1*Star title.
