Wirral Cup Finalists: Kathyrn keeps Heswall in the picture
Ten o clock Saturday 15th March saw junior players from across Merseyside arrive at Heswall Squash Club for the inaugural Wirral Cup. Four age groups were on court: U11, U13 Boys, U15 Boys and U15 Girls. The U11 and the U15 Girls played a Round Robin while the U13 and U15 boys each played out a 12 draw Monrad Tournament.

An enjoyable day was had by everyone mixed in with tears of frustration and disappointment as everyone gave of their best. The four finalists in each of the age groups are shown below.

U15 Boys: Dan Prescot (New Brighton) v Alex Berry()
U13 Boys: Patrick Rooney () v Will Kynaston (Northern Crosby)
