Boys Competition

Doubles Winners: Kaylan Sutton-Ziaien and Aiden Foo
Runners up: Tom Zhang and Michael Duncan
The Boys Singles Round Robin section was tough of many players with multiple very close games, one group having the winner and runner up’s decided by points and one player missing out proceeding into the Knock Out quarter finals by a single point.
The quarters went with form and all the winners of the groups continuing to show their strength by knocking out all the runners up.
In the semi finals Jordan Huynh (15) made the older competitor Tom Zhang work hard to ensure a win and continue to the final .
The final saw Kaylan in the final for the 3rd year running having won it in 2012 and been a runner up in 2014 and this year he once again missed out with Tom Zhang winning with some aggressive play 21-15.
In the Boys Doubles the Round Robin saw a split between the stronger pairings and the up and coming challengers leading to good matches at the semi final stage of the competition. The final, however saw Tom and Kaylan again in battle with their partners Michael and Aiden. Kaylan and Aiden showed the strength of their 7 year partnership (having played together since they were 10 years old!) to win 21 - 17 after a greatly fought final.
