Denise Payet won silver and Charlotte Bardsley two bronzes at the Belgium Junior & Cadet Open in Spa.
Payet won her medal alongside USA’s Amy Wang and Croatia’s Marta Vukelic in the Junior Girls’ Team event and the English girl picked up some useful wins in the group stage and the semi-final against Croatia.
However, in the final, the team were beaten 3-2 by India, despite Wang’s two victories. The American had a good tournament, also winning the Cadet Girls’ Singles and Doubles events.
Bardsley teamed up with India’s Vanshika Bhargava in the Cadet Girls’ Team event and reached the semi-finals, losing to Hungary A despite Bardsley winning the opening match.
Bardsley’s second bronze came in the Cadet Girls’ Doubles again alongside Bhargava and again reaching the semi-finals, where they were beaten by eventual runners-up Helga Dari & Anita Drabant of Hungary.
Bardsley reached the last 32 of the singles, while in the Junior Boys’ Team event, Olly Tyndall and Joe Clark, playing alongside Jordan Wykes of Jersey, were eliminated in the group stage.
