7 of our D band WCT squad players attended the Belgium Ladies Open in Arlon, travelling out with the Junior and senior squad.

It was an incredibly strong tournament, demonstrating what the next level up looks like. No medals this time from these girls, but due to the pool system used here, all got at least 2 contests and gained invaluable experience.

After watching the senior competition on sunday, we transferred to Spa for a 4 day training camp. Here the players got to practice with some of the very top players in the world, as well as the younger, up and coming players from many different countries. It was here that I the real learning and progression to happened.
