AT the recent Somerset County Tennis Championships, two sisters both won their respective age group competitions on the same day.

Annabella and Anastasia Jenkins were able to share a winning moment with each other as they showed their skills on the court.

Annabella won the U8 girls competition while Anastasia U10 girls.

Father John-Paul Jenkins said he is one proud parent.

"We are so happy for them, they have made my wife Svetlana and I proud parents.

"What is truly special is they both won their competition on the same day so it is a memory they will share together."

The sisters have been playing tennis since they were five-years-old and have gone from strength to strength since.

They both play at Taunton Tennis Club and attend Cotford St Luke Primary School.

John-Paul Jenkins added: "We hope they continue to grow and enjoy the sport of tennis."
