The young gun took out his second consecutive A Grade boys’ title, defeating Tague Morris 6-1 in the final.

Burford also doubled up to win the A Grade boys’ doubles alongside Josh Williams, defeating Morris and Derek Bagacay.

Tournament director Rob Keens said it was a great weekend of action.

“We had 111 registrations across the two days: 53 playing singles and 58 in doubles, which was great,” he said.
