Bootham School players Lucy Langley and Rachel Jamieson hit their tennis peak right in the middle of the Wimbledon championships to book a place in the northern finals representing North Yorkshire.

The pair blasted teams from Harrogate, Scarborough, Ryedale and Richmond away at the Under-15 North Yorkshire tennis championships at Ampleforth College with a 100 per cent win record to win the event and earn a place at the Northern championships.

Joint head of PE at Bootham School, Lis Hooley, said: "This is great news for the girls. They played some really super tennis and we are all very proud of their achievement."

The duo were selected to represent York at the county tournament after excelling in the Nestl tennis league.

They will now have the summer to build on that form to do their county proud at the Northern region finals at South Leeds Stadium in September.
