Squash Success

There was more squash success for the boys this time. After having beaten Gosforth Junior High and a team from Manchester Grammar School the under 13s team was through to the finals that took place in Nottingham. Each of our boys played two games in the final. Unfortunately they were drawn against the favourites  who went on to win the competition a team from Kings College Cambridge. Our team came a very creditable third and were each awarded a medal.

We spoke to Ben and Matthew who told us they play squash 4 or 5 times a week at Northern Rugby Club. Both boys are keen sportsmen and Matthew’s main sport is in fact swimming. For these boys it was their first school competition  but not their first medals. Both boys admitted that they had been nervous on the way to the competition but they were pleased with their performance it was just a pity that they drew the eventual winners for the first round.
