The annual Tom Elton Barratt Junior Squash Championships (this year an England Squash 2 day Bronze Sanctioned event) took place on 21st & 22nd October 2017 at Bishop’s Stortford Squash & Racketball Club, Hertfordshire with a donation from all entry fees received being given to CRY.
The tournament has been held each year since 1984 in memory of Tom who died from a heart attack caused by an undetected heart defect.
Just over 80 enthusiastic squash players (boys and girls aged 8 to 18 years) took part in the event, coming from 13 surrounding counties. During the two days, around 140 matches were played. ‘Home’ players from the Bishop’s Stortford Club who took part in the event were Alex Banhidai (who came 3rd in the Boys Under 13’s event), Luke Scott-Stevens, Ben Kelling and Bastian Kelling.
Congratulations must go to all winners and our new champions – BU19’s Bilal Ahmed and GU19’s Brienna Boo Burki.
