As he's our 2022 U18 National Champion (having beaten the defending champion, Will Jansen), and will be playing Adult Wimbly Qualis, it's time to have a thread for Luca Pow.
He also won the U18 doubles title, with Henry Searle. And previously won the U12 and U14 nationals too.
Currently at the Loughborough academy. Under Nick Cavaday, I think.
