Well what a great weekend of junior squash! So good to be back competing in the Dorset Junior County Closed competition at West Hants. 48 juniors were raring to get back in to action and they put on a great display of squash throughout the weekend. It was great to see familiar faces, and the lovely vibe that squash gives us was back!

Hi Bev,
I hope you are keeping well! So lovely to see all the pics of the County Closed winners and their trophies all looking so grown up too! It must have been great to finally hold the comp after so many covid restrictions.
Robyn is now on a study year abroad at Uni of Toronto, waiting to get on the courts there and trial for the team, apparently they open in Oct. She also organised a UCL ‘Have a go at squash’ session before she left to try and swell numbers, it went really well and their coach organised help from a high ranked England player he’d coached previously.
Ollie is now at Uni of Birmingham and has just managed to get into their 4th team. He is thrilled, but now has several matches to play in his bubble and serious training to do in-order to keep his position in the squad!
Thank you and all the coaches for your dedication over the years that’s enabled them both to play so well! Keep up the great work!!
Best wishes
Louise, Todd Robyn & Ollie xx
