Gold for the Dutch at Junkie 14
Squash heroes took the title on Sunday beating
english newcomers blood sweat and beers 4-2 in the
final.
The young dutch side were aided by american professional
Gilly lane and proved to be a solid oufit. Gilly was
supported by dutch team members Sander kock, Sebastian
Weenink and Martijn Kock. Their girls were dutch u17 juniors
Ilona and Laura Lagerweij .
Despite an heroic effort from Jonathan Harford beating
Weenink in testing conditions Jaymie Haycocks’ team
struggled to find form on the last day of the challenging
event.
The four days of competition had quite some highlights both
on the court and off. English legend Robert Forde treated
spectators to a squash masterclass narrowly going down to
Martijn Kock 11-9 in the fifth game on saturday afternoon’s
semi final.
Playing for Nic Birt’’s Cardiff dragons, despite a 33
year age gap Forde pushed 22 year old Kock all the way with
his tactically immaculate game. It was brilliant stuff.
A big thanks to all the characters who made the weekend so
memorable. See you at 15 next year.
