SQUASH

Although the Junior Competition was cancelled because of lack of enthusiasm, there are several promising young players in the School and it is hoped that they will continue to practise and enjoy the game.

The last three strings in the 1st V were unstable because of lack of practice by those concerned and this was partly responsible for a not very successful season in which, out of the five matches originally arranged, one was won, two lost, and two cancelled.
