Cambs Squash

Although our league season hasn’t started yet Junior squash in the County and Area is off and running.

The Junior County Championships were held at Hunts County over 27/28 September with a great turnout and great organisation – the usual suspects Becs; Glyn and Ray Scrivens did their expected fantastic job and also big respect to Colin and Ahmed from HC whilst James was on maternity leave!!!

Must also mention “Van Es” company for stepping in as last minute sponsor.

I’m sure the whole Cambridgshire Squash Community will want to send their best wishes to our Under 17 Squad as they head off to the Solihull Arden club this weekend and attempt to Win the National U17 Championship.

We are delighted to report further success at the recent Herts junior competition as 9-year old Nadine El Refee was runner up in the Girls u11 event.

Sammy Chambers

Chambers warms up for the Europeans.

Following a short lay off with Achilles problems Sammy was looking for some tough matches as a build up for the up-coming European Championships.

Traditionally the top divisions get most of the news coverage but of course the leagues lifeblood is in the lower divisions – Juniors on their way up and old buggers , most of whom used to duff me up years ago – gracefully on their way down.

Peter Dickinson

Suffolk Juniors – Well done Peter!!

The 2nd Weekend of Junior Competition saw Peter Dickinson roar through the field to capture the u19 title.

Unseeded due to lack of recent tournament play Peter was in sparkling form sweeping aside last weeks u17 Winner Robert Dadds and then going on to beat Bucks No1 Charlie Wyatt , who’d come from 2-0 to get past Ahmed El Refee, in the final.
