Agricole Cup under-16 results

This Saturday 28th June we played the under-16 age group of the Agricole Cup mixed age doubles tournament. This is a tournament for adult:junior pairs.

The first round was a round-robin league which was the best of three matches for each pair against three other opponents. There were some exciting games and excellent squash. Winners of the A league were Tom B. and Derek Fuller who went on to the final against winners of the B league Will C. and Andrew D'Alessandro. Runners up were Sam Bradshaw and Mike Macnamee who played Tom and Martyn Symmons in the 3rd/4th place playoff. Special mention goes to Mike who was also paired with Beth Collett in the B. league and so was hardly off the court! It was a good job that he did not have to face himself in the playoff!

In a very exciting final Tom and Derek took the first game but Will and Andrew fought back to win the second. In the third there were some nailbiting rallies with a great range of shots played and all players covering the whole court. Finally it was Tom and Derek who managed to clinch the decider. The first winners of the U16 Agricole Cup.

In the 3rd/4th place decider three games were also needed but finally Tom and Martyn gained third place with Sam and Mike in fourth.
Thanks are due to everyone that turned out and played in such great spirit. And also their help with refereeing. It was good to spot those footfaults, Tom! Special thanks are due to Jeremy Cole whose company Agricole sponsors the event.


Well played everyone and see you all next year.
