If you don't make it to Barnstaple perhaps you could nip over to the Futures event in Cardiff???

^The possible Heather v Laura match has convinced me to go to Barnstaple on Wednesday, and that is the only day I can make it this week.

Twitter hasn't been working for me yesterday or today - I've no idea what's wrong :confused:

ETA - and as soon as I posted that, it suddenly started working! :rolling:

This is an interesting tournament for Laura and Heather, for different reasons. Laura to get some consistency at home and put down a marker for the future with Heather, and for Heather to play a tournament as the number 2 seed playing... as the number 2 seed, rather than hoping to get the chance to play opponents ranked much higher than her. Different kind of experience but the chance to realise that progress involves beating those ranked below her throughout a tournament - playing to her ranking level - just as much as rising to the challenge of playing those above her!
