Squash Team

Radlett Juniors 1st Season in Herts Summer League 2007
The story so far.

It’s been a fairly bright start by the juniors. After 4 matches, only one match has been lost and opposing teams appear pleased to pit their talents against our up and coming stars.

Jemma (2 dots) Ockwell has started very well and, as long as the correct ball is being used, eventually grinds the opposition into submission. Her disciplined and precise approach to the game is good to watch and she is able to take advice between games. Very refreshing!!

Luke (cool hand) Stewart is, as the nickname suggests, a cool customer and belies his age by showing little emotion while playing. His ability to adjust quickly to the varying styles experienced so far has been key to maintaining his 100% success rate.

Jack (McEnroe) Fowler has so far lost only one game and when in the mood can surprise with his resilience on court. While playing Harlow he had to overcome breaking two racket strings and continue with a borrowed racket. Normally these events would have given Jack the excuse to derail, but in this instance, proved inconsequential and he still won.

I suspect that any leniency shown up to this point by opposing teams will evaporate on the return legs. However if their confidence continues to grow, there should be some interesting games to come.

Big thanks to Jeanette and Derek sorting out the courts and dealing with the administration.
