From a players perspective

*Lewis Williams & Lee Morgan @ the French Junior Open

"It was a long drive down through France to the event, but it is well worth it. We have seen so many good shots from the players of Japan, France, Spain and others. It's not only inspiring but motivating to play at such an event and being in this company only makes us want to train harder and become better. The highlight was our doubles match against Japan where we really played well - and took a set!!!
We will win such events one day and bring the trophy back to wales"
