Youngsters from across the county compete in Cumbria Junior County Championships 24/25

The Cumbria Closed Junior Squash Tournament 2024/25 was held at Carlisle Squash Club on Saturday, September 2024. There were 31 entries.

This year the competition was an England Squash sanctioned event and it ran smoothly. Thanks to Victoria Kemp and Carlisle for hosting and to all the players and parents for their cooperation.

For the first time, we held a boys under 9 category which had 6 entries – the most entries of any category.

The awards for the winners and runners up were a nice glass squash-specific trophy with case.
