Welcome to Biddenden Squash Club - Juniors' Section
2009/10 Junior Squash Leagues
There are FOUR Junior teams this next Season. This will require committment from Players, Parents and Helpers with time, transport, catering etc on a large scale.
There is an expectation that if you wish your child to take part in this then one is expected to help share the burden.*******************************************************************************

Junior News - January 2009
As seems to be happening each year, Biddenden Squash Club Junior section had a fantastic 12 months with record entries for club tournaments, success in the Kent Junior Leagues and more County representatives across the age range for boys and girls. The juniors are also building on the fantastic reputation the Club now has across Kent.
After the recent Boddington Trophy competition the chairman of Kent Junior Squash said “I write to thanks all those clubs who entered, in particular Biddenden, who in my mind, in the true spirit of junior squash entered two teams to give as many juniors, whatever their ability, the chance to play squash.”
Well done to all the juniors who represented the club in the tournament, I know you did yourselves and the Club proud.
There have been some spectacular events this year too - World Squash Day was one of the most fantastic events seen at the club in years and the France trip was a great success also. Who knows where the juniors will end up in 2009! A special thanks must go to Nikki Reed, Sam Cooper, Martin and Liz Finnan, Mark Gorman and all the parents who have supported these events as well as the juniors who participated in them.
Thanks again must go to Nikki and Sam for setting up and running the junior box leagues, allowing even more opportunities for our junior section to play competitive squash...and while we are in the thanking mood, continuing thanks goes to Martin, Mark, Nikki and Sam (with Rob helping) for running the 3 junior teams this current season.
The year finished with a fantastic team tournament where 30 juniors participated and battled to win the t-shirts and avoid the wooden spoons (although the wooden spoons are highly sought after nowadays!). The event was followed by the a Christmas Party and of course loads more squash and on behalf of the Club I would like to thank all those involved with helping to organise the tournament and then the Christmas party that followed. The evening also saw the presentation of the annual Club Awards for the juniors. The 2 most improved players for 2008 (out of a lot of strong candidates) are Harry Golding and Lauren Jones. Throughout the year they have consistently improved their level of squash and are now regularly involved with the junior leagues and tournaments. Callum Quigley was awarded the Fair Play award for 2008, due mostly to his attitude towards all aspects of squash over the last 12 months. The Achievement in Junior Squash award went to Charlie Stow. Charlie is one of the original juniors from way back in the early part of the century. Charlie has been a loyal and committed member of the Club for many years and has developed into a very good junior squash player. He has been regularly involved with the junior teams and has also made the step up into the senior box leagues but Charlie has shown a real interest in coaching too. Over the last year he has given up his time on a Wednesday evening to help develop the squash of younger players and I also know that he plays them whenever he has free time. Congratulation Charlie, a much deserved award.
At Last
We said it would happen sooner or later and at last it has. After Richard Quigley won a senior tournament we knew that it wouldn’t be long until one of the girls took the title in a ladies tournament. Well done Abbey Farris, you played superbly the whole tournament and fully deserved your title.
A Special Congratulation
Being pipped to the post by his eldest daughter for getting the Farris name on the Honours Board, a special congratulations must go to Rob for his award of Club Person of the Year 2008. Rob has supported the Club for many years now as a player, a parent, the web designer and now assistant team manager. His support and attitude towards the Club has helped take it forward and I know the junior section are as grateful as the rest of the Club.
Last Word
Thank you all for your continuing support throughout 2008 and we look forward to 2009. Please keep checking the website for any further information and make sure you make a note of any important dates for tournaments, trips and events.
Many thanks
The Junior Committee.
