The Herts Closed 2018 was held at Broxbourne Squash Club this year as a change of venue. Thanks to Broxbourne for hosting the tournament. We had quite a drop in entries this year particularly in the Age Groups due to injury, holiday etc. which was a shame. The B tournament also down on numbers this year but this didn’t matter as the Mens B Final was a real cracker of a match between Paul Cousins and Jordan Ryan. The Men’s C competition welcomed some new players and provided a great final between 15 year old Zan Farooqi and Graham Blackburn. We did however have more entries in the Mens A tournament culminating in two great semi finals and an amazing final between Adrian Waller and Rui Soares. The ladies event sadly not well represented but again a great final between Grace Gear and Nyah Williams. Thanks to everyone who entered the event and made it such a great weekend of squash.
The results were as follows:
Men’s A Adrian Waller bt Rui Soares 3-0
Ladies Grace Gear beat Nyah Williams 3-0
Ladies O40 Sheila Blake first in round robin Libby Montgomery 2nd
Men’s B Paul Cousins bt Jordan Ryan 3-2
Men’s C Zan Farooqi bt Graham Blackburn 3-1
