Scott Clayton won last year's Road to Wimbledon

Jersey's Audrey Bois and Stuart Parker will play at Wimbledon this year after winning the Channel Islands Road to Wimbledon finals.

Scott Clayton and Octavia Lamb were last year's winners and Clayton went onto win the overall event.

Channel Island's Lawn Tennis Association development officer Hugh Raymond was pleased with the result.

"It's a great opportunity for both of them to play on the courts that only a couple weeks ago saw that great final."

"Let's hope they do as well as Scott (Clayton) did last year," he continued.

This year more than 50 players took part in the event with all four finalists coming from Jersey.

In the girls' event Audrey Bois defeated Natasha de Freitas in straight sets 6-1 6-3.

The boys' final was a tighter affair with Stuart Parker beating Jamie Beaumont 6-4 4-6 (10-5).

Bois and Parker will play at Wimbledon in mid-August.
