Tennis ace Megan Wright from Carbrooke took part in the 12/u Junior County Tournament.
Megan, seeded at number two, was playing in a tournament with some very good players.
She started the tournament very well, winning all her matches to qualify for the final on Sunday.
Megan was up in the final against Bronte Farrage, Norfolk's 12/u No. 1 player.
Both players started the match very well and the match was looking to be a very close one. The courts were very slow and high bouncing, so not really suited to Megan's game.
Megan had to be really patient to pick the right shot to attack from.
