Unfortunately, the U13 and U17 double-header at St Neots today ran over time after Norfolk arrived late, resulting in some games not being played.
The U13 battled well, but were 6-12 down to Norfolk when the clock stopped play with two remaining games (which were unfortunately apparently looking good for Cambs!).
The U17 team fared better, and were 9-8 at the end, with three games undecided. The result will need to go to a steward's enquiry!
Kaylan Sutton-Ziaian took the Kent U17 Silver Circuit Tournament by storm on Saturday. After grinding out a win in his group with two three-enders, Kaylan really his his stride. He beat three other players in comfortable straight-sets victories, before beating Dorset's Michael Higbee in the final 15-7, 15-7.
Congratulations go out to Zaylan for such an impressive result.

It was a busy weekend for Cambs Badminton, as players from the County competed around the Country with much success.
In the junior Inter Counties Championships, both the U13 and U17 squads were in action.
Still finding their feet in the competition, the U13s travelled to Bedfordshire, where they earned an excellent 11-9 victory even though a last-minute withdrawal meant they started the match 4 rubbers down!
Also in the ICC the U17 team travelled to Northants, where they also recorded a sound victory, winning 13-7. The match also saw debutant Klaudia Otoka (Ely Victoria) playing, aged 14.
At the other end of the age spectrum, Cambridgeshire was also represented in the 18th English National Masters Championships in Guildford, Surrey. Olga Bryant competed in all three O40 disciplines (with a 3/4 position in ladies doubles), while Neil Place and Daniel Bates received Silver as runners-up in the O35 mens doubles event, and Neil also came third place in the O35 mixed doubles.
