Hide AdWestwood was part of a 14-strong group – it consisted of ten boys and four girls – that enjoyed an 11-day trip to one of the game’s fabled venues.
“Our thanks are due to the organisers of the Winternationals who put on great tournaments, and we hope to be sending another team in February next year,” said East Lothian Junior League secretary David Warren.
“The whole trip was a memorable experience for these young players and it would not have been possible without financial support various sponsors, all the parents involved and the volunteers leading the group.”
