The 2006 ITF/CAT West/Central Africa 13 & Under Circuit, hosted by the Fédération Camerounaise de Tennis (FECATENNIS), finished on 13 August in Yaounde, after a change of venue from Douala due to adverse weather conditions. Twenty boys and 16 girls from nine countries participated in the circuit which comprised a training camp, followed by three four-day tournaments.
Host nation Cameroon dominated the boys draw with Celestin Nkoueleue winning all three legs of the circuit, beating Stephen Peter (NGR) in the first and second tournaments and compatriot Franck Tamokoue in the third event. It was Ghana’s turn to shine in the girls’ events, as Anita Kodjoe took the girls singles titles in two of the three tournaments. The other girls’ winner was Benin’s Stephanie N’Tcha.
The doubles titles were shared between Cameroon and Nigeria, as the host nation swept to victory in the boys’ and girls’ doubles of the first and third events, and Nigeria winning both the doubles trophies in the second leg.
The level of competition was high thanks to talented boys such as Tunde Segodo (BEN), Stephen Peter (NGR) and home player Franck Tamokue, as well as Biola Akewula (NGR) and Yvonne Kamegne (CMR) in the girls draw. The circuit was one of the biggest events organised by FECATENNIS and Edouard Eugene Akame, President of the Federation, said: “I would like to thank the ITF and CAT for the confidence they have placed in us for the organisation of this event, as well as the sponsors – SCDP, CAMTEL and VORTEX – for all their support. I hope that all the participants have enjoyed their stay in Cameroon and hope that we will see them here again soon for other international events.”
