DAY 1 - OCEANIA INDIVIDUAL SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPSNorfolk Island Squash Logo

Day 1 of the individual events started this morning in fresh conditions – even the locals had their woollies on this morning!!

Players from the New Caledonia, Samoa and Norfolk Island Teams were joined by 12 local players and 2 additional visiting players to contest the Individual events.  With the Commonwealth Youth Games being held in Samoa in 2015 these Championships have given the local junior players the opportunity to gain valuable experience and match play in their quest to represent Norfolk island at the Games.

 

In the Mens Event defending champion from the 2011 Pacific Games and Oceania Championships, Laurent Guepy from New Caledonia, is keen to regain his title, but compatriot Nicolas Massenet (seeded 2) is expected to push him to the limit and definitely won’t make it an easy road to victory for Laurent. 

 

In the Womens Event the New Caledonian players are expected to take out the medal positions including defending Champion, Christine Deneufbourgh.

 

Students from the local school visited the courts today and enjoyed some exciting and hard fought matches throughout the day.  A welcome boost for the local Norfolk players.

 

Play will continue tomorrow with the Finals held on Friday evening followed by a Presentation Function.

 

After play today the Norfolk Island Squash hosted a BBQ at the penal settlement ruins at Emily Bay where the visitors were treated to a spread of local cuisine.  Another wonderful evening of friendship and terrific hospitality in a unique setting by our hosts.
