Welcome to Biddenden Squash Club - Tournaments
Mens' and Ladies' Handicap Tournaments
The Finals night brought about matches between Gary Marshall & Scott Finnan, and Clair Homersham & Abbey Farris.
Both matches provided great entertainment and excellent squash. Gary, despite a valiant effort, could not quite make up the handicap difference - eventually losing to Scott.
Abbey and Clair's match was closer with respect to the starting handicapped scores. It was a great match with Abbey winning 3-1.
Congratulations to both winners and runners up for providing such a great night. A social evening followed with a buffet and the bar.....

The Team Tournament - fun yet very competetive, took place on the 5th of October. 4 teams of 5 entered included Seniors and Junior members alike.
Teams as follows:
Team A - Tom Swain, Callum Finnan, Luke Linnett, Andrew Fisher, Leo Danczak.

Team C - Robin Wilson, Scott Finnan, Chris Gorman, Niki Reed, Tom Reed.
Team D - Phil Carter (Snr), Dave Woodcock, James Friday, Charlie Stow, Claire Brockman.Competetive squash ensued apace with 10 minutes non-stop per game. The tournament was tight overall with Team A in fourth place (Wooden Spoon, 348 points), Team D in third place (351 points), Team C in second (373 points), and Winners were Team B (390 points).
Most individual points (but not allowed to be a winning team member) were achieved tied by Tom Reed and Leo Danczak. This was resolved by looking at the head to head match which Tom won, so he was given that accolade.
27th/28th September - Kent Junior Open Championships (Maidstone)
This event, with Boys and Girls sections, was held over the above weekend at Mote Park and Maidstone Squash Club respectively. There were qualifying matches / leagues on the Saturday with finals on Sunday.
Boys - The competition was of a very high standard - some individuals playing England number 1 and 8s etc. Owen R made it to the U11 final but was sadly beaten, Callum F was outstanding but beaten gracefully, Andrew F made it to the semi final but was beaten, Kes G and Callum Q played fantastically......
Girls - The Girls faced a limited number of entrants but they were of a very high standard. Everyone played to the best of their ability, stepping up their games as needed but no one progressed to semi finals / finals on Sunday. All played with dignity and accepted defeat gracefully. Generally, each girl was at the bottom of their respective age group - better luck next year!
Abbey Farris was susbsequently asked to play at number 5 in the Kent U19 Squad on the 19th of October at an inter-County match - Congratulations. Unfortunately, she is in Spain on a netball tour. Gutted. Well done Abbey.
