Queen's Lloyd Skinner completed an impressive four-title haul at the North Devon Open Tournament at Barnstaple Leisure Centre, winning two singles and doubles events. Skinner beat Alex Moir in the final of the boys' under-13 singles event, before the two adversaries paired up to lift the doubles crown.
Skinner then entered the under-15s event and lifted the title to become champion over two age groups, before partnering Bronya Pike to victory in the mixed doubles final.
Pike followed that up by winning the ladies' under-15s singles and doubles titles.
Not to be out done by their teammates, Jamie Dawe and Callum Parker won the boys' doubles final to complete a clean sweep for the club.
