Tennis: Duncan in County Team

8 05 2009

Duncan Muir of Closeburn, a member of Dumfries Sports Club, has been selected to play for the South of Scotland county team at the forthcoming County Cup.

Duncan, a relative latecomer to tennis, has impressed with his development and attitude on court to make a rapid rise in the ranks.

Winner of the Dumfriesshire U14 title, Duncan has been playing competitions all over Scotland and the north of England with an ever rising success rate and was recently a finalist in the Chatsworth Easter tournament in Carlisle.
