AAB Sponsor Glacier Masters Series Winner

Patrick Young aged 10, nephew of James Pirrie and sponsored by AAB, has won the under 12’s Glacier Energy Services Winter Tennis Series.

The competition consisted of 6 monthly tournaments held at Westburn Indoor Tennis Centre, running from October 2011 to March 2012. The top eight players from the North East competed.
The final of the March tournament between Patrick and Ross Martin was an exciting match with Ross winning the first set 4-0 and then Patrick coming back to win the 2nd set 4-2. Patrick then went on to win the deciding tie break 10-2. The final points total for the series saw Patrick win with 57 points, Cameron Edward in 2nd place with 39 and Ross Martin in 3rd with 33.

Patrick is climbing quickly up the Scottish rankings for under 12’s despite being the youngest player in this age group and in December was selected to attend coaching with Judy Murray. Next up is a national tournament in Glasgow followed by representing the North East at under 13 level in a 3 day event in Perthshire at the end of the month.
