The team finished 6th full details below The
team had a fantastic start with a 3-1 win over
Nottinghamshire. All played outstanding and set
the scene for the day. Followed by a really tough
game against the eventual 2nd place side
Lancashire where all boys were beaten 2-0. Not
without a fight though. This meant that the team
would play for the 5th 8th place play off in
the afternoon. Again they started off really well
beating a strong Cumbria team 3-1 with all
matches extremely close. The final match for the
5th/6th play off was against Chester who proved
too strong winning 4-0 Jamie Todd and Greg Bojke
played some outstanding squash and can use this
as a great platform to take into their U13 squash
in the upcoming seasons Lewis Bartram and Joe
Wareing will still have another two years in this
event and what a start for these two young men
what a pair of battlers on court. All played and
supported as a team and were outstanding well
done
The team finished 10th full details below The
team had one of the hardest draws drawing a
really strong Durham and Cleveland team and
Yorkshire who are always strong. Not withstanding
that they started well and pushed Yorkshire right
to the limits with Matthew Garms and Lewis Follin
both taking games off their opponents, the team
lost out 4-0 though. Durham and Cleveland won 4-0
not surprisingly with no-one taking a game This
meant that they would be playing for the 9th
12th position in the afternoon What a start
they beat Derbyshire 4-0 Matthew Garms and Lewis
Follin both coming from 0-1 down to win through
2-1. Alex Dyter and Sam Broughton played
excellent squash and won 2-0 in both ties. Last
match was for the 9th/10th play off and they drew
Lancashire 2nd team. What a fight they put up
with Matthew and Lewis just losing out 1-2
despite some injuries and real guts. Sam
Broughton fought back excellently from 0-1 down
to win his tie and Alex only just lost out
2-1. They all played and won as a team and both
teams behaviour, effort and conduct were
impeccable
Absolute honour to have been team captain with
assistance from Dave Todd and all parents with
three 8 years olds getting valuable experience
the future is bright and I for one cant wait for
next years event
