The final proved to be very intensive, lasting two hours with the majority of games going to multiple deuces, which tested their skills, talent, fitness and endurance.

Tomáš and Will fought to the end to secure the Lancashire County 12U Doubles title, 7-5, 6-3.

The Lancashire County Championships, which run alongside all other county championships nationwide, always prove to be very challenging with high quality players from Bolton, Manchester, Liverpool and Wigan specialised tennis centres. The championships are held at the Bolton Arena in Horwich, and run for over a week, with competitions in over 30 categories in age groups ranging from 8U up to 70+.
