Gold #1/ Grand Prix #1

     This past weekend 12 juniors took part in the first gold event of the season at Mayfair Parkway.  All juniors played really strong.  Amin Khan easily advanced to the semi-finals of his draw until he came up against the #1 seed.  Amin played every game very strong and both players put on a display of shot-making and retrieving.  However, Amin was edged out in a tight match.  Amin would go on to finish 4th in his draw.  Aaron, Sara and Ananya persevered in their draws to win the Bronze divisions.
     This same weekend also saw the first Grand Prix event in Windsor.  This is a monthly series that is being run on Sunday afternoons for players new to the game looking to get some tournament experience.  Strong performances were turned in by Rajun Sandhu, Colin Moore, and Kolton Brosseau were top players this Sunday.

Cross Border/ Pro Exhibition

 

   Saturday was a busy day for Windsor Squash.  Many of our players headed over to the Detroit Athletic Club to compete in the Cross-Border.  It was a tough day for Windsor especially since we have been dominating the Cross-Border.  It was all the USA on Saturday as they won a large majority of matches.  Thanks to all players for playing and representing Windsor (or Canada).
     Many players headed back to WSF after the cross-border to watch the pro exhibition between Ben Coleman (WR 50) and Anthony Graham (WR 162).  The players hung around all day, giving lessons and helping with the juniors.  In the evening, the players entertained a crowd of 40 with long rallies, incredible shots and witty banter.  After the exhibition they answered questions, signed autographs and helped the juniors celebrate Jagroop's birthday.  The pictures from the evening can be found here.
