34 games were played in total with 6 big 5 setters, mainly from the younger half of our team.
Darius Mathews had a great tough win over Louis Hook in a very intense battle, winning 14 -12 in the fifth. Jake Laws also took Louis to 5 with Louis snatching the win 11-9 in the fifth.
Romeo Michalakis from Eastern took both Victor Romero Gemmell & Cleeve O’Connor to five, in the U11 boys, with Eastern taking both wins, despite outstanding performances from our younger boys.
Sam Barlow (U13) a newbie to the team had a good win over Mason Cornforth also in 5.
Our Central girls were stronger overall over their Eastern counterparts, with new players to the team Mila and Izabella Alexander both having strong wins. Great to see the depth of talent coming through for our future junior squads.
The games kept our coaches busy throughout the day as they had 5 courts to cover. It was great to see our older players stepping up and not only supporting the younger players but also coaching them in between sets. Thank you to Matthew Laurenson and Kent Darlington for their positivity, coaching and mentoring throughout the day.
Thanks to SquashGym for hosting, and Katrina Gemmell for the nice lunch she provided for the teams.
Overall it was a great day, with a good friendly yet competitive atmosphere. It was great to see the juniors, of all levels, reunite with their Eastern friends and rivals.
