IN the six-monthly issue of the Lawn Tennis Association's UK Rankings, two local boys, Toby Randall-Paley and Sam Clarke, have been placed among the joint first Under-10 boys in the UK. Toby, of Sedbergh Junior School, and Sam, who attends Vicarage Park School, train six hours per week with Jon Griffin's local Performance Squad.

Jon, who is also the tennis professional at Casterton School, said: "It is a fantastic achievement for the boys and great recognition for all their hard work and dedication."
