THE Trebert and Le Tissier families dominated finals day in the Creasey’s Junior badminton Open.
Between them, they appeared in all 19 finals that covered each age group of under-13, -15, -17 and -19 years.
Players are limited to entering six events, usually within two age groups. So with singles, doubles and mixed doubles events, each player can appear in a maximum of six finals.
Glenn Le Tissier, 16, Emily Trebert, 15, and younger brother Jordan, 12, each reached six finals. Glenn and Emily remained unbeaten while Jordan notched up five titles.
Chloe Le Tissier, 11, was also in a maximum number of finals and won them all.
The event was hit partly by the credit crunch as only one player, Jamie Jenkins, 14, from Kent, visited from the UK.
But, frustratingly for him, he suffered a muscle injury on the Friday evening and had to withdraw.
Disappointingly, only one player entered from Jersey, that being young Harrison Morley, 12, in the under-13 and -15 events.
He did very well and reached the U-13 singles final.
