Well done to all the Heswall Juniors who played in the Merseyside County Closed.
Charlotte Keighley & Mike Beecham both came first in their groups and Rich Fisher, Andy Corran, Mike Corran and Mike Beecham have all been asked to represent Merseyside in 2 weeks for the U19's. Not bad considering they are all 17. Well done lads.

Wirral Cup 2008

Junior Wirral Cup Finalists

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. Following the adoption of American scoring to 11 in the PSA tour it was decided to run the tournament matches as best of three games to 11 for all age groups. 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.

U11 Daniel Beddard (Neston) v James Connor ()
u15 Girls: Kathryn Keighley (Heswall) v Georgina Swift (New Brighton)
U15 Boys: Dan Prescot (New Brighton) v Alex Berry()
U13 Boys: Patrick Rooney () v Will Kynaston (Northern Crosby)

The finals will take place at New Brighton on Saturday 5th April: exact timings to be announced.

Many thanks to the players at Heswall and New Brighton who despite having no children involved in the tournament gave up their Saturday to referee. A very big thank-you to Oliver Dumbleton, Ken Wilson, Mike Beecham, Ken Wilson, Craig Beecham, Robert Jones and John Knight. Many thanks also to all the parents who gave up their Saturday to bring young players to the tournament. Finally thanks to all the players -winners and losers- who played their matches with enthusiasm and in good spirit. Its great to see youngsters enjoy squash!
