Ulverstone Squash Club Championships 2024

The finals of the 2024 Club championships were held on October 23rd as the culmination of a series of elimination matches played over the preceding weeks. Due to the strong numbers finals were played in 7 categories. It was great to see that the influx of junior members meant that Junior finals were played in 2 divisions.

The B  Grade Juniors title was won by Mason Barnes over a gallant Nickilis Smuts 15-4, 15-12, 15-8. Given the age (and size) difference it won’t be long before Nickilis  claims a title of his own.

A  Grade Juniors was a very entertaining and hard fought affair which was taken out by Blake Brewtnell over Sebastion Jongshaap 17-15, 15-7, 15-8. Both these juniors play in the top line of our roster competition and are improving at a rate that has the top players on their toes every week.

The B Grade Womens match was won by Pam Bailey in a real arm wrestle of a match, that could have gone either way, over Krystal Stone 10-15, 15-12, 15-13, 15-9.

The A Grade Womens match was unfortunately unable to be played and was awarded to Breanna Stone over Sally Charleston who had to forfeit due to a serious gardening accident. Sally has assured us she will be wearing gloves next time she ventures into the garden.

The C Grade Mens was won by Gary Cooper who was too good for Nigel Toombs 19-15, 15-6, 15-12.

B Grade Mens was taken out by Alex Armstrong over Luke Turner in another close match 15-3, 13-15, 15-10, 15-9.

The A Grade mens was won by Brian Armstrong over Vaughan Whish Wilson 15-8, 15 -9, 15-7, giving us a father – son duo winning the A & B grade titles this year.
