Sunday 20th July 2025: Ilkeston Youth Open
Thirty four players from SYDA descended on Ilkeston, making up over half of the competitors at the event.
8-12yrs Main Competition
Well done to Rwais who managed to make the last 4 and narrowly lost out 2-1 in a very close and competitively fought game.
8-12yrs 2nd Tournament
Again another hotly contested game between two SYDA players. The doubles proved elusive for Roman which Isaac managed to capitalise on and take the game 3-0.
13-18yrs Main Competition
Well done to Ellis and Riley for reaching the last 8. Both didn't manage to make it to the semis having been drawn against two very goos and experienced opponents.
Taylor Mcguckian 3 - 0 Ellis Hadfield
Josh Vickery 3 - 1 Riley Dalton
Well done everyone!
