Harrow Junior Grand Prix 3

Harrow Junior Grand Prix 3 – Windsor November 1^st 2014

There was a buzz of excitement at the Windsor Squash & Fitness club this weekend as we held our first ever Squash Ontario Junior Event. After last year’s event being cancelled, we were delighted to attract 27 entries and run Boys Under 11 and 15’s events as well as a girls Under 15’s event.   The squash was exciting and played in a fantastic spirit all day.  Special thanks to Marcus Moceri, Niki Bistrev and Kabir Bhangoo who assisted in the running of the event. They were great at keeping the court schedule moving, collecting scores and updating the draws. We also awarded an effort prize for each division to a player we thought maintained high levels of effort in every match regardless of the result.

Under 11 Boys

David Badalov from White Oaks proved too strong for the field winning all of his matches.  He won both his matches in the final round Robin 2-0.  In second place Sujai Shah from London played well throughout showing good promise for the future.  Third place went to Julian Attard who was playing in only his second event.  The effort prize went to Faazil Khan.

Under 15 Girls

The Under 15 girls were made up of six players and on paper it was difficult to pick a winner.  In the end, Hannah Guthrie played some great squash to win the event beating Zara Khan 2-0 in the final.  Third place went to Aparna Maheshwari who beat her sister Annanya 2-0.  The effort prize went to Mackenzie Elliott.

Under 15 Boys

This was the largest draw of the event and had 12 players.  There were some cracking matches, especially the semi final between Amin Khan from Windsor and Riley Bore from Sarnia.  After sharing the first two games, Amin took the third, 13-11.  In the final, Amin faced another Windsorite, Aaron Nagy.  Again the first two games were shared before Amin took the third, this time 11-9.  Riley Bore recovered to take third place and the effort prize went to Philip Dimitrov.

A huge congratulations to all who took part and many thanks to the parents willing to travel and make the event possible.  We hope to see you all back for the Gold Event!
