The first was held outdoors in Salisbury and was a Wiltshire U-12 County winter series event. Oldfield played three matches and in six sets dropped only two games.

He played especially well in the semi-final on clay against a similar rated player, Henry Birt. The Guernsey boy won 4-0, 4-0, serving up two aces on the way.

The following day he took part in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Under-12 Boys Winter Series Masters event in Basingstoke.

The first two rounds were straightforward and saw Oldfield reach the final, dropping just one game to get there.
