Agricole Cup 2009 U16 competition

On Saturday 11th July after usual coaching sessions our juniors will be gearing up to play in the Agricole Cup. Play starts at 14.00 and is this year a knock out format with the final at 17.00. The order of play has been posted on the wall at the club. So come along to see some thrilling action. The Agricole cup, which is kindly sponsored each year by Jeremy Cole of Agricole Ltd, is a friendly doubles tournament between adult:junior pairings. So each team must have a member from the younger and... ahem... older section of the club. Best is if the players are actually from the same family or household. So father paired with son or daughter or mother with son or daughter - or anything similar that crosses the generation gap. This year we also have a guest pairing of Jo and Dave Weavers where Dave appears by kind permission of Melbourn Squash Club. And a further guest appearance of Paul and Mike Jordan both from Hunts County Squash Club. Defending their title this year are Derek Fuller and Tom Blair - not actually a father son pairing but Derek is very much Tom's squash 'daddy' and has been mentoring our up-and-coming 14-year old over the last season. Now we get to see whether that time competing against each other on court can be turned into good teamwork! Come along anytime to support the players and enjoy the action - which promises to be hugely exciting.
