The 77th annual Warwickshire closed tournament at St Augustines Sports Club in Coventry provided an outstanding debut for Coventry's 15 - year- old, Fontaine Chapman.
Chapman, making her debut in the event, won the coveted ladies singles title in emphatic style after beating the more experienced 18-year-old, Catherine Grant 11-1, 11-2.
Already catapulted into the elite England squad, Chapman's performance at the event has almost put her as first reserve for the county's first side this season and, with Julia Mann's retirement not far away, the county have unearthed an exciting talent.
Coventry's Mike Ractcliffe won his second men's singles title in three years after winning a three-set encounter against Birmingham University's Lewis Halsey.
After winning the opening game 15-4, Ractcliffe let Halsey dictate the second game after he led 7-2 and let him back into the match, losing it 15-11. However, he picked up the momentum to collect the title, winning the third game 15-4.
Warwickshire captain, Chris Roe, collected two more double titles. He won the men's doubles with Carl Goode for a fourth consecutive year after thrashing Mark Poulsen and Steve Adams 15-2, 15-6.
For a second consecutive year, Roe partnered Catherine Grant to win the mixed doubles 15-5, 15-2 against Handel Suryaputra and Rachel Priddy.
Grant won her second doubles title with Sar Mason as they beat Chapman and Priddy 15-5, 15-5 in the ladies' doubles final.
For the second week running, Solihull & Shirley's second mixed side had a 9-0 win over their third side in the return game.
Combinations of Andy Kitching with Carol Moran, and Andy Pattie with Shelia Stones, remained unbeaten to complete a double winning start for one of the title contenders.
Four Oaks first mixed side are looking for an early return to the top division next year after demolishing Lighthall 8-1 in their opening fixture.
