For the 27th year, Bishop Stortford Squash Club recently hosted the annual Tom Elton Barratt Junior Squash Tournament, won this year by Youssef Abdalla (Essex) who overcame Stortford’s Nick Mulvey 3-1 in the senior boys final.
The tournament is nationally ranked by England Squash & Racketball and is contested by top youngsters in the area across age groups ranging between Under 11’s and Under 19’s. It is a highly prestigious event with an enviable reputation for high quality squash, sportsmanship and good manners.
Sponsored by sports goods manufacturer Tecnifibre, it commemorates one of the club’s finest junior players who died tragically in his teens in 1983 and has grown from a small club event into a highly regarded tournament in the junior squash calendar, accepting entries from anyone throughout the UK. More than 100 talented boys and girls contested over 140 matches during a busy weekend organised by Club Manager Andrew Mulvey.
The club also had success in other age groups with Hannah Mulvey who was 3rd in the U17’s group, Tommy Albright 2nd in U13’s Plate event, Harry Senior 4th in U11’s Plate and with Liam Holly and Joe Ticehurst well placed in their age groups.
A highly successful weekend concluded with Mrs Elton Barratt and England international Tania Bailey presenting the trophies including a coveted award for sportsmanship (this year won by Alex Williams from Norfolk) - a fitting end to a fine tournament

Over 4 Sunday evenings Club Night Challenge reached finals night on the 22 May and it was an evening to remember. Whilst the evening began with some close games between Mark Fitton and Peter Heir (21-20), Iain Gouldson and Peter Heir again! (21-20) and Alan Naughton and Simon McNeil who forgot their game was to 15 yet ended it 21-19, it did not take long for the quality to shine through...
HERTS JUNIOR OPEN 2011 SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS 
Not many would have bet on two new National Champions at the start of this week, and not many would have put money on neither James Willstrop or Nick Matthew, who have won the last five titles between them, being on the winner's podium.
