NORTHLANDERS PROGRESSING THEIR SQUASH…
25 Jan 2012
The year of 2012 is an exciting year for squash and players in Northland. Last year we celebrated a new A grade lady, Sacha Pou-Tito, in the province, and a national age group champ, Finn Trimble, among many other dedicated and talented players who well and truly left their mark on the local and national scenes.
Guts, determination and goal-setting on the part of each individual gets you a long way. Add to that Squash New Zealand and Squash Northland development opportunities and there are plenty of options for those who are keen to advance their squash. On top of that we are lucky to have some very pro-active initiatives around the clubs as well.
Heartiest congratulations to Jacinta Matson who has been selected for the New Zealand Girls World squad of ten players who will prepare for the 2013 World Junior Girls Championships.
Sam Sayes has been rewarded for his dedication, by being selected in the New Zealand development squad for his age group with a view to preparing for World Junior Squads of the future.
Northland’s High Performance Squad, recognised to be some of the potential future representatives for Northland, have committed to attending coaching sessions, regular training, working on their fitness, and playing in set tournaments locally and further afield.
Congratulations to the following 2012 Northland High Performance Squad:
Craig Widdup Daniel Notton
