IoM Junior Squash Challenge (Report by Dave Griffiths)
As there is no point being all dressed up with nowhere to go, when Merseyside cancelled the IoM v Merseyside Junior Squash Challenge at short notice, Two IoM teams representing Junior Development Officers Dave Griffiths and Carl Albrigt played a match against each other.
The result was an exhilarating contest that was so much fun it might have to be an annual event. Griffiths’ team won 23-21 as Tarek Gomaa avenged a defeat by Mason McLarney earlier in the season in the final match of 15.
