Canterbury Junior Open_SOCIAL TILE_opt What a great weekend for our wonderful Juniors to be playing Squash, with a weather forecast which included snow, wind and rain it was the perfect weekend to be indoors playing and watching some fantastic Squash from both our experienced players and our developing players.

Special mention has to go to Isaac & Nadia Karati, Curtis Millard and Ryan Gillman all of whom agreed to fill in for players who withdrew from the tournament earlier in the week. With 52 entries the touranement offered 6 x 8 draws and 1 x 4 draw, ensuring all games were well matched.

Twenty five setter games were enjoyed by players and specators over the weekend with 4 of these games ending 15/13 in the 5^th, another two ended 16/14, 1 more ended 17/15 and two pused it out to 18/16 in the 5^th. Fantastic.
