Comberton Under 11s clinch the Division IV title!

Our 4th Team turned in a great performance in their second round fixture on 29 January to win the Cambs Junior League Division IV trophy at their first attempt. Going into the fixture we had a four point lead over our closest rivals, Hunts County, and an exciting afternoon’s squash saw Comberton doing just enough to maintain that lead.

Against the third team in the division, Abbotsley, we did not field all our strongest players, and our less experienced second and third strings, Eddie Lane and Josie Allen, found it tough going, though they both accumulated a respectable points tally. Matt Peer at 1 wore down his opponent after a tight first game to give us three valuable points. The overall points went 9-3 in Abbotsley’s favour.

We had more success against Hunts County. Casey Miller, like Josie and Eddie making her debut for the club, fought well in her 3rd string match, eventually losing a close contest 1-3. Matt Peer’s good form continued as he beat Hunts County’s no. 2 by three games to nil, and Harry Harland-Mears completed a very good team performance with an emphatic win over nationally-ranked Darcie Mounter. This gave us a 10-3 win overall, and with Hunts County beating Abbotsley 10-4 it meant that all three teams had scored a total of 13 points!

So Comberton 4 finish the season with 31 points, Hunts County 3 with 27 and Abbotsley 3 with 19. We look forward to seeing our Under-11 squad at the Junior League End of Season Tournament in March, where the divisional winners’ trophies will be presented. Well done all you Under-11s – a tremendous start to your county squash careers!
