Last Sunday saw over 50 entrants attend Squash Central's Junior Prince Series finals at the Whanganui Squash Club, as three matches per player meant another full day on the local courts.
The finals came at the end of a very competitive 16 week series, which saw J-Grade level players attend Sunday tournaments played in Taranaki, Whanganui and the Manawatu.
J-Grade is designed as an introduction for juniors to enter competitive level squash, getting a taste of tournaments before moving up to E-Grade and beyond.
Numbers have grown in the Squash Central catchment to attend these tournaments, specificially from the Manawatu, Whanganui and Ruapehu areas.
During the 16 weeks, players collect points for attendence, winning matches, and two extra for winning their division at a given tournament.
