Broad range of winners at UKBT National Junior Championships 2026

In sweltering conditions, the teams battled hard for places on the podium and the gold, silver and bronze medals on offer. 

Saturday saw the first of the action in North Devon as the U14 and U18 competitors took centre stage. 

On Sunday, it was the turn of the U16 and U20 competitors to take to the sand, with some teams competing in more than one age category. 

There were some familiar faces among the winners, particularly those who had played at the trio of recent international events in Bridlington. 

But there were also some new faces, especially in the younger age categories, who look to have very bright futures in the game.
