Surrey 14U Girls County
Cup Report 2017
The Surrey Under 14’s girls team
started their County Cup campaign
in Taunton, Somerset having to beat
Avon and Cornwall to reach the final
round of qualifying.
Surrey got off to a great start
against Avon, winning a closely
fought tie 4-2. On the second day of
qualifying, Surrey won all three singles
and both doubles comfortably,
finishing the match Surrey 6 -
Cornwall 0.
Surrey arrived in Nottingham for
County Cup National Finals as the
fourth seeds. On a heavily rained
delayed opening day Surrey had an
excellent start with a 5-1 victory over
Somerset. Tough wins against Essex
and Middlesex followed, meaning
we faced title favorites Yorkshire in
the final.
Despite Yorkshire being favourites,
Surrey put up a great fight with
Lara Bakhaya giving Surrey the lead
winning at number three. Cheyenne
Borg battled hard, narrowly losing in
three sets at four. The top two singles
were close with Yorkshire coming out
on top and giving them a 3-1 lead.
Surrey didn’t give up without a fight
and Leah and Oriana had a close
three setter at number one doubles,
but it was to be Yorkshire’s day
winning 5-1.
