Cornwall Squash and Racketball

Success for Jonny and Pete!

It’s all happening at The Falmouth Sports Club! Jonny Newton, seeded 2, won the Falmouth title beating top seed Martin Thompson 3-1 in the final of a superbly run Championships. Both players put on a fine display of attacking squash for the assembled crowd with Jonny’s 16-14 third game ‘steal’ proving crucial. In the Plate it was the in-form and much-improved Peter Keam (the slimmer!) who beat team mate Christian Thomas in an equally attractive match. Both Falmouth teams are doing well in their respective divisions this season – great to see strength and depth returning to the famous club. The main results have been uploaded to Squash Levels.

Devonian Jon Gallagher, recent winner of the Swiss Masters Open, finishes in the top 16. ‘Little’ Jack Mahon is now up to 8 in the England U15 rankings…..at the age of 13!

Truro S&RC stalwarts Tim Smith and Neil Counter, together with ‘Big Jack’ Halford from China Fleet, entered the British Open Squash Masters event at Colets, London between 5th-10th June. This tournament is the most prestigious squash event in the World for masters players. Jack, now a fully-fledged England international and proudly wearing the famous red and white kit of his country (see photo below), did us proud again by just falling short of 3 pts in the semi-final against the eventual winner. Neil and Tim went out in the first round, Neil to the eventual winner and Tim to the England #7, but both then went on good runs in the plate. Neil just lost out in the semi whilst Tim WON IT!!!! All three deserve congrats so if you see them around be sure to tell them! Our trio flew the the flag very well indeed!
