Under-11s doubles champion Jack MacGregor and his Warwickshire doubles partner Josh Bong reached the quarter-finals of an under-13 Gold tournament at Milton Keynes.

Jack and Josh bowed out to the Scottish number one pair.

February, meanwhile, was a good month for David Higbee who won gold at the under-13 silver event in Exeter and a silver at the Bournemouth tournament.
