Cadence Simpson of New Mill is a Yorkshire tennis champion.

Coached by Becky Lee at Huddersfield Lawn Tennis & Squash Club, she took the 8 and Under crown at the Yorkshire County Championships at the John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds.

She was among six girls who competed in her section, playing a round-robin event where each player faced all the others.

The title went to the girl who won most matches and, after winning her first four games, Cadence came up against Isabella Gibson from the David Lloyd Centre in York, who had exactly the same record.

It effectively meant the winner would be county champion and Cadence took the match 10-2.

Cadence, who has been playing tennis since she was three years old, attends Wooldale Junior School near Holmfirth.
