THOMAS Powell has enjoyed a very successful summer season, resulting in him finishing top boy in the county.

The Weymouth youngster reached the final in the majority of his competitions, some of which were the age group above (16-and-under), and is particularly impressive for someone who was only 13 in April of this year.

Powell was also awarded the most improved player in the Dorset County Championships.

He starts the winter season ranked 33rd nationally for his age group.

He attends Budmouth College and is coached by Julian Lawes at Weymouth Tennis Club.
