2nd PLACE FOR CONOR IN AMSTERDAM
Congratulations to Conor Moran on his fantastic run to the final of the RKC Squash Network Series 2022 in Amsterdam last weekend! Conor started the tournament in dominant fashion, beating both Robert Lindner (NED) and Guido Linder (NED) 3/0 to reach the semi-finals.
Conor then played some of his best squash to upset the #2 seed Blessing Muhwati (ZIM), 11/8, 11/8, 11/7, and earn his place in the final. Despite a tough fight, Conor lost out 16/14, 11/6, 11/8 to the very experienced #1 seed Robert Downer (ENG) in the final, who had knocked out Alex Smith 3/1 in the previous round.
Well done Conor and Alex

ENTER HERESQUASH SHOES AND OTHER RULES
We must remind players that Shoes with Black Soles are not permitted even if they say NON MARKING. Check you Racket Grips are in good condition, If they are old they disintegrate and will shed onto the floor and permanently mark them.
Also we have had to remove chewing Gum, Stones, Food and other damaging items from the courts. It is very important that we respect the courts and refrain from bringing food, drinks and dirt on court.
LASTLY, some Juniors are NOT wearing their Squash Goggles on court!!!! It is so important that you ensure they wear their Goggles. It is compulsory world wide until they reach 19 year and there is a good reason. If you are hit with a squash ball in the EYE it is very unlikely the eye will recover. If a junior is seen on court without goggles they will be told to leave the court. If they continuously refuse to abide by the rules of squash they will be reported to management.
