Our most recent Junior Graded event was held at the Ky Squash Centre in memory of Noel Hubble. The tournament was jointly run by VSF and Dean Hubble with support from Lyn Proulx, Bev Hubble and numerous other enthusiastic club members who willingly gave their time on the day. And what a fantastic day it was ...

Events were conducted for A, B, C, D, E, Novice and Beginner grades with 51 entrants competing. This is a great result, especially since we were playing at a four court venue - there was non-stop action all day.

It was pleasing to see the continuing trend of many new players competing in their first VSF tournament. Well done to Wangaratta and Squash Logic Melton who organised buses to bring large groups of players along for the day.

There were many close matches throughout the day with quite a lot, including the finals and play-offs, coming down to a sudden-death rally to determine the winner when scores were tied on the bell. This provided an exciting atmosphere with players and parents really enjoying the day out.

As per usual, all players are to be congratulated for their enthusiasm, great sportsmanship and efforts on the day. We really have a great bunch of kids playing in our junior tournament circuit, which is building all the time, and their participation and co-operation really makes the tournaments as great as they are!

Again, the board games and card games were a huge hit with players who were killing time in between matches, especially our younsters. It was funny to see the kids trying to play Twister in the limited foyer area - probably doubled as a great warm-up and strech before their matches!

Thanks to the great hospitality of Ky Squash we were all treated to a delicious BBQ lunch with the record being taken out at 6 sausages by one of the local lads.

The presentations were fantastic with great trophies up for grabs. Our thanks to Budget Trophies for providing such high quality trophies. Congratulations to our event winners and runners up and to Jackson Milne who won the Squash Enthusiast Award.
