Jimmy Robertson is celebrating a major double after making an outstanding international debut.

The 15-year-old, from Bexhill, helped England win the Home Countries Under-17s Championship for the sixth time in a row at Pontins, Prestatyn.

The Bexhill High pupil also secured a place in the British Junior Open next May by finishing runner-up in the UK Star of the Future Under-16s event which was run alongside the Championship.

He played four matches out of five for his country and won each of them 3-0.

Robertson said: "I was chuffed. I couldn't have done any better than that."

The Q-Balls Club member helped England whitewash the Isle of Man before defeating Connor McWilliams with a joint highest break of 80 as his country overcame Northern Ireland 7-2.

He secured victory over Damian Shore when England dismissed the Republic of Ireland 8-1.

Robertson was rested against Scotland when the auld enemy seal a 5-4 triumph.

It meant England had to beat Wales to win the crown and Robertson gained the vital win, against Ricky Jones, to secure a 6-3 victory. He had breaks of 79, 60 and 38.

In the Star of the Future, he was defeated 3-2 in the final by England team-mate Ben Woolaston after leading 2-1.
