Scarborough Squash Academy 3rds flying high in York League

Scarborough’s 3rd team is the team in form at the minute having played six matches and won six.

Captained by Andy 'Hutch' Hutchings the team look solid, sharp and determined to gain promotion.

Again using many young academy players and / or players new to competitive matches the team sit first in Division Five boosted by a 14-8 win against promotion rivals York Students.

Hutch said: “It's great to captain a side that are determined to develop their skills. Many have put on a team shirt for the first time and wear it with pride.

"We have a great team spirit here at the club.”

Making their debut in Division One, the Scarborough 1st team, led by John Fuller, are finding it tough going.

Having played five and lost five the team currently sit afoot of the table with 19 points, six behind the team ahead of them.

With Ben Squires playing fantastic squash at 1, the team have gained points here and there though the season hasn't been helped by the loss of Number 2 David Noble to an injury meaning everyone else playing up the order.

The 2nds, captained by Ben Allen, are having a very steady season in Division Three and sit third on 63 points.

Featuring some of the more seasoned players, such as Alan Rees, the team have used matches to develop some of the youth and in Harry Amstell the future is good.

Harry has stepped up and won four from five of his matches closely monitored by coach Lew Marsden who is ready to give advice between games.

Regular weekly squash sessions are held at The Silver Royd and cater for juniors and players of all levels.
