Squash season hits off

SQUASH: Charleville squash is off and running again with 42 players taking to the court for another competitive season.

The first week provided great squash games being played and some reports say a lot of players pulled up very sore after their game.

Courtney Bylett welcomed new player Jarrod Kerr to the club with a win in four games.

Ben Doolan showed good form in beating another new player, Dale Chicken, who claimed the loss was a result of travel sickness after travelling 140km from Wellclose to play each Wednesday night.

Team Sunline had a close win over Winx, 15-13 games, where veteran Lindsay Newby pulled out his usual bag of tricks to defeat Rob Sullivan in straight sets.

Josh Griffiths continued to improve with a 3-1 win over Matt Jackson and Luke Maher pulled out some good shots to beat Glen Wallace 3-1.
