Thanks Kerikeri for a fun day of squash as usual!

Congratulations Jeremy for winning division 1 🏆

Way to go Amalia and Nami! Helping the NZ schools team win back the Trans-Tasman squash trophy after lending it to the aussies last year 😆. The girls played 10 matches including a couple of doubles games.

The Sunday arvo doubles hits at WSC with the doubles guys came in handy for Nami 👍

Congratulations to the team and girls 🏆

Ps Fordy is getting another racket for Nami ☺️
