Jenna Gates collected her trophy as the Youth In Action Sports Personality of the Month and declared: "I hope I can win another one."

The 14-year-old squash from Henfield claimed our award after winning the national under-15s title and helping Sussex claim the inter-county crown.

The Warden Park (Cuckfield) pupil said: "It's been a fantastic month for me It just shows how hard work can pay off. It makes all the effort I've put in worthwhile.

"I certainly hope I can carry on winning titles."

Jenna was disappointed to miss out on selection for next month's European Under-15s Championships because she would be too old.

She said: "I will be 15 next Monday and you have to be under-15 to play in it."

She trains at Coral's in Hove with coach Mike Harris.
