 John Cavill, Head Coach of Tennis Works, has coached Megan for the past 3 years and she is one of 3 competitors in the Nike Junior Tour who will be part of the brand new Cavill Academy that starts in September 2005. Freya Berkin, also coached by John Cavill battled hard against Megan in the final but unfortunately Megan’s strength and experience was too much with the result being 6-2, 6-1. In the girls Under 14's, Sharna McNally defeated Milton Keynes player Sarah Spanswick 6-2, 6-3. Sharna's accuracy and power on the astro turf courts seemed to be too much for Sarah, who won this event last year. In the boys Under 12's Joshua Hawes took the title after beating James Hodges and Chris Cutler in the round-robin event. James took second place after defeating Chris in the second match of t
 he group. In the Under 14's boys, Max Hodgeson won without dropping a game with James Hodges as runner-up. Tennis Works Head Coach, John Cavill, said," I would like to congratulate all the players for their fantastic efforts. I am pleased that the girls I am working with are starting to show success and with the new academy starting, I am looking forward to seeing their progress over the next year. I would like to thank Nike, Babolat, Tretorn, Sportsmatch, Milton Keynes Tennis Club and the RPT Europe for making the event possible and I hope this prestigious event will stay in Milton Keynes for years to come." Released: 6 August 2005
