ATTC junior Danielle Kelly competed against the top 18 cadet girls in the country at the English Cadet & Junior National Championships in Huddersfield on May 1st, 2016.
Singles
In the singles Danielle (ranked 126) was drawn in Group 1 with Denise Payet (103), Bhavika Mistry (118) and Tiana Dennison (116).
As number 1 seed, Denise Payet won all three of her group matches with Danielle, Mistry and Dennison all taking a match off each other.
Despite a marathon 3-2 win for Danielle over Mistry, it was Mistry who went through to the knock out stages on countback. Denise Payet went on to win the title.
Doubles
In the doubles Danielle, playing with Charlotte Bardsley, made it to the semi-finals where they were up against the surprise team of the tournament, Darcie Proud & Hannah Ward (who had already defied the rankings having toppled top seeds Denise Payet & Sophie Barlow in the first round).
Again the contest was very close with Danielle and Charlotte fighting back from 0-2 and having 2 match points in the 5th set before narrowly losing 6-11, 3-11, 11-4, 11-8, 10-12.
