Squash Festival in Purley

This was a brand new event for this year and was a follow-up competition to the squash festival and multi-sports events, earlier in the year, that we took children along to.

Our team of four squash players played against St Mary’s, Barrow Hedges and Foresters – each player getting two singles matches against each school. There were some extremely close and exciting games and all the children did really well applying the rules and scoring their own and other players’ matches. Throughout the morning our players really settled into their games, gaining more confidence and warming up well into their all-round match play. There were some great rallies and some excellent winning shots!

All of our players won matches which contributed towards their overall team bronze medal placing.

It was so nice to have squash added to the events programme this year and all the children who took part really enjoyed themselves and have started to develop some brand new skills that they will hopefully use again going forward. We’re certainly looking forward to doing more of this in the future!

Very well done to Carson, Isla, Vivaan and Lily! Photo to come next week!
