Cornwall Squash and Racketball

Hotfooting from the international squash circuit, Roy Gingell, will be at TRURO on Saturday 7th October 11am – 4pm with pasty lunch provided to give a course on MARKING & REFEREEING. 20 is the minimum number of attendees with each club, Bodmin, Bude, Falmouth, Newquay and PZ, expected to send two players for the course – 10 are already signed up from TS&RC. The standard of refereeing was an issue last year and this was discussed at the County AGM on June 7th. Don’t miss this opportunity to up your game and improve your team nights. Please contact Phil Partridge or myself to register your interest. I will also send out an email to all captains.

    2017 Roll of Honour

Men’s Champion – Jared London         Men’s R/U – Dale Diment                 Ladies’ Champion – Katrina Thomas      Ladies’ R/U – Rachael London       Men’s Plate – Tom Newberry                 Men’s Plate R/U – Harry Cobbley

Mackie Trophy for most Improved Player – Alex Head (Falmouth S&RC)

Gimson Plate for Squash Enthusiasm – Linda Brickell (Vice Chair CCS&RA)

Another excellent year with 32 players in the main men’s draw. Some excellent matches in the earlier rounds most notably Neil Counter V Will Tyas (2-3) and Chris Lawrance V Alex Head (3-2). The Men’s Plate was particularly strong with old Truro V Falmouth rivalry most prominent. We are looking to increase the participation in the ladies event but Katrina was a very worthy winner. The finals were very well attended with packed upper and lower galleries. Thanks were expressed by the County Committee to Truro for once again hosting a major county event.
