The Lancaster School will represent the Midlands at the Team Tennis Schools national finals after their year 10 boys squad won the regional title.
The under-15 team of Daniel Tarokh, Roman Kenny-Manning and brothers Daniel and Luke Tatman won their Midlands semi-final and final at Corby Tennis Club to qualify for the national event at Bolton Arena, which begins today.
This is the third consecutive year a Lancaster team has progressed to the national finals, following the success of their under-13 and under-18 sides in the past two seasons.
It is also the seventh time coach Chris Whitmore has guided a Lancaster squad to the event.
In their regional semi-final, Lancaster under-15s breezed past Wolverhampton Grammar School. Tarokh and Daniel Tatman both won their singles 6-0, Kenny-Manning won his 6-2, while Luke Tatman recovered from a break down to win 6-4.
Lancaster continued to impress and took both doubles to win 6-0 overall.
In the final, Lancaster took on Repton School, from Derbyshire. The teams split the singles 2-2, but Lancaster showed great character and nerve to again triumph in both doubles matches, taking the overall tie 4-2.
Lancaster's year eight boys had also qualified for the regional event in Corby, but they suffered defeat in their semi-final to Warwick School.
However, they raised the game for the third-place play-off, where they thrashed St Joseph's High School 6-0.
