Plymouth College tennis talent, Pierce Widdecombe, had a very successful weekend at the County Cup in Birmingham. The 15-year-old played at no.1 for the Devon U18 team in all three matches.
In the first, Devon played Herefordshire & Worcestershire, which saw Pierce beat Jack Smith 6-2 6-4. His next opponent was Ross Gilbert of Wiltshire. Pierce lost a very close third set 5-7 after two and a quarter hours on court. The final round was Devon against North Scotland. Pierce was the only Devon player to win a singles match, beating Aaron Hepburn 4-6 6-3 6-0.
