Report:

It's a long day starting at 11 a.m. and finishing at 7 p.m. playing 3 inter-county matches.  However, this was a great day for Herts under 13 boys.  We won 20 out of 24 ties and all members won at least 2 ties showing strength across the squad.  The boys showed true determination and the quality of their squash seemed to improve as the day went on.

Behaviour both on and off court was extremely good and it was pleasure to manage the squad.

My thanks go to parents who came along to support and to Jason Foster for coordinating this event with a coaching course, members' desire to join in the melee and the continuous demand for food and drink.

Thanks also to Ray Waller for transforming Nathan's serving tactics!

We look forward to Stage II on 6 February 2005.
