It's a bit of a squash!
At
the U13 Inter-County Tournament in Cheltenham on Sunday, 5 November, all of the
players representing Devon were pupils at St
Peter’s School: Lyell.Fuller, Joe Pyne, Ben Hancock, Richard Harvey and Ben
French. In the first qualifying round, between
Gloucester, Dorset, Avon and Devon,
the St Peter’s team won through. If
this talented young squad continues successfully through its next qualifying
match, they have the opportunity to compete amongst the top four in the country
later this year.
Not
to be overshadowed by the success of the older team, the U11 squad are showing
every sign of following in the senior’s glory.
At the South West League competing against other counties throughout the
region, the UII side won 4 out of 5 of their matches.
‘I’m
obviously absolutely thrilled for all of them’, commented Mike Densham,
professional coach and instructor at St Peter’s. ‘These boys are playing out of
their skins, it’s marvellous to watch. Both
teams are playing superb squash, with one or two putting in particularly
stunning performances. They have every chance of playing at a professional level.’
