Thu: Day Two, starting at Hallamshire
Hallamshire refreshed
Not to be outdone, Hallamshire has also had a bit of an update,
with the main courts - 5, 6, 7 and 8 - brought together into one
seamless line with plush new seating, many of the prime
positions sponsored, behind them all (previously it was almost
like three separate sections, now it’s much nicer (and the
lighting is bright and consistent too, thankfully!).
There’s also a new glassback court one - not bein g used for the
BJO - alongside the balcony viewing courts 2, 3 and 4.

Wed: Day One in Abbeydale
 We're
starting the event off at Abbeydale, where the U19 plus
U13 Boys and U15 Girls events are taking place - and of course
all the finals on Sunday on the Tecnifibre Glass Court.
The club has undergone some refurbishments, notably improvements
to the previously impossible-to-cover courts 1, 2 and 3, so that
was our first port of call, camera in hand.
As for the squash - lots of matches, no major upsets, so for
TODAY you've got the results, a few snippets on the Blogh and
lots of photos in the Gallery.
Chances are it will be more of the same tomorrow, but we'll
start proceedings with a look at Hallamshire's revamped
facilities, before we get down to the nitty gritty of the
competition on Day Three ... |

Abbeydale Makeover
 The
Abbeydale Club is in the middle of a major
refurbishment, the first phase of which was
completed around three month ago, involving
the reception area, gym, and courts 1, 2 and
3.
Very nice it looks too, and with the courts
now being glassbacks we should finally be
able to get some decent shots too (although
the lighting still phases horribly).
Over the next few months the makeover
continues, with the original glassback
courts 6 and 8, plus court 7, the Glass
Court which was opened by Jonah Barrington
in 2004, next on the list for upgrade.
