Ten-year-old Daniel McGrath achieved a rare double, winning tennis and squash titles within a few hours last month.

Daniel, who plays both sports with Finchley Manor, became the club's U11 tennis champion with a straight sets win over Kudzi Makopa, 6-3, 6-3.

Dashing from his home in Cyprus Avenue, Finchley, to the Princes Club in Heathrow, Daniel switched racquets and provided an upset in the Middlesex U11 squash final, easily defeating No1 seed Craig Empson 9-4, 9-5.
