Following hard on the heels of Andy Murray's Olympic Games success, there is a record entry for this weekend's County Junior Championships.

There will be 252 competitors, ranging in age from seven to 18, going for glory in 21 events at the Leicestershire Club in Stoneygate.

The last three boys' champions, Connor Glennon, Ben Mullis and Marc Westgate, were part of the Leicestershire men's team recently promoted to Division Two at the end of inter-county week.

Corinne Blythe will be hoping to retain the flagship under-18 girls' title.
