In the 3rd/4th place play-off, Rubislaw’s Cameron Edwards defeated his clubmate Conor McMahon 4-2, 4-2.

North East district coach Vikki Paterson was delighted with what will hopefully become an annual series.

“The grand prix has enabled the boys to enjoy regular high-level competition over the winter period and this is something we would wish to build on.”

District President Brian Morgan added.

“The standard of tennis was exceptional and I’m sure those involved will see the benefits of the grand prix going forward. We are indebted to Glacier Energy for their support as without their assistance, quite simply there would have been no event.”

With the profile of tennis in the country at an all time high, one Aberdeen based organisation is ensuring it plays a part in guaranteeing a continuous conveyor belt of talent is given every chance of progressing through the junior ranks in the Northeast. With thanks to Dave Macdermid.

Oil and gas services company Glacier Energy Services has provided support to establish the Glacier Energy Services Winter Under 12 Invitational ‘Masters’ Series.

The project, for the City & Shire’s most promising boys, sees a series of six monthly competitions taking place through to next March at Westburn Tennis Centre.

The inaugural event took place this month and Glacier Chairman Scott Martin predicts a bright future for the sport in the area.

“We have a really strong group of youngsters coming through and, as a district, they receive regular training sessions.

However, during the winter months in particular, there are not the same competition opportunities as there are during the traditional tennis season. The establishing of the Glacier Masters Series enables the top boys to be involved in regular, high standard local competition to supplement their training.

The initiative also allows the boys to get to know one another more, and this group can progress together as a North East district team that can ultimately succeed at Scottish level.”

Organising the Glacier Masters Series is North East district coach Vikki Paterson. “We are extremely grateful for the support from Glacier which not only enables us to run the events throughout the winter but also allows for trophies for the overall winner and runner-up at the end of the series.

“This area has traditionally produced excellent young players and this current group is as good as any who have gone before in my opinion.”

Group winner of the first event was Ross Martin (David Lloyd Aberdeen) and Patrick Young (Stonehaven), Conor McMahon (Rubislaw), Michael Whelan (Cults), Anthony Low (Udny), Cameron Edwards (Cults), Syzmon Kierkiaw (David Lloyd Aberdeen) and Fin Pearson (Banchory) all taking part.

The next event is on Sunday 6th November, commencing at 8.45 am.
