Returning from injury, 18-year-old Kane cleared 2.1 metres to finish behind two of Ireland's representatives in next month's European Championships in Spain, Mark Mandy (2.23m) and Anton Burke (2.15).

Ten days ago, Kane failed to win a medal at a major meet for the first time in his career when he made his return from injury at the indoor AAA Championships in Birmingham, England.

He returns to Birmingham this Saturday for the under-21 National Championships, a continuation of his build-up to the track and field season in Europe this summer.

Kane's father, John, is chief organiser of Bermuda's World Ruby Classic.

Whitter, meanwhile, rallied to beat Craig Bean 4-6, 7-6, 6-1 in the boys 18 final.

Earlier Whitter had defeated Johnny Wardman in the under-14s final 6-2, 7-5 while Downey got past Sasha Fisher 7-5, 6-1 in the same age group.
