Brian Fielding Memorial Junior Tournament 2010

This year’s tournament, held at Fenland Squash Club on December 12, provided a great opportunity for juniors from around the county to enjoy several hours of intensive competitive squash, and there were matches of high quality in both the morning and afternoon sessions. The Monrad format with timed ten-minute matches kept all the players well occupied throughout the competition, and the awarding of a winner’s trophy and cash prizes for the top three in each of the two groups rounded off each session in good time.

Report: Inter Counties Stage I Premier SOUTH.
Location: BA Club, Middlesex.
Date: 13th/14th November 2010.

Match 1: Cambridgeshire v Buckinghamshire.

A strong team from Cambridgeshire assembled at the Concorde Club, near Heathrow in Middlesex. With Harry available for the Saturday, having to dash back to complete lab experiments, Cambridgeshire’s prospects for the weekend looked promising.

We plan to make "Coaching Tips" a regular feature and hope that not only will you enjoy reading them but that some of the "tips" will actually register with you and will help to improve your game.
Remember Coaches can only help you to improve if you are prepared to put in the practice time. There's no magic only hard work.
