Are
the Maliks Britain’s Most Successful Sporting Family?
The
Mailk family from Cuckfield, Sussex, laid claim a
few weeks ago to being the UK’s most talented sporting family
and three of them are only 6years old!
The six children, Curtis (13), Perry (11),
Torrie (8) and 6 year-old triplets Bailey, Sumner and Heston,
swept the board at the Sussex County Squash Championships
winning no less than 5 County Titles between them.
Triplets Bailey, Sumner and Heston Malik all aged 6 made
a smashing debut to finish first, second and third respectively
in the under 9’s Championship.
Torrie, the only girl in the family, aged 8 incredibly
won both the under 11 and under 13 Championships, Perry,
aged 11 won the under 13 boys whilst Curtis Malik,
the eldest brother won the under 15’s whilst still only
aged 13 and finished 3rd in the under 17 age category.
Proud Father Camron Malik is a squash coach and captain
of the over 45’s Sussex men’s team, beamed as he confessed that
he had only introduced the kids to squash, “in order to let mum
have a lie in”!
Youngsters Curtis and Torrie have a national reputation, and are
rapidly gaining an international reputation, playing at both the
French and Dutch open, and
Camron admitted that the family’s success at the weekend was a
‘dream come true.... |
“I used to take Curtis and Perry down
to the local Squash courts with me on a Sunday morning so that my
wife could have a lie in. It was the ideal place for them to run
around and play games with other kids because you could lock them in
essentially!”
“To be fair I was expecting them all to do well as they have shown a
natural talent for the game.
People expected them to do well, but it was a lot of pressure as a
family to deliver. However, whilst wining five County Championships
was an aspiration as a family, it was beyond our wildest dreams to
achieve.”

Proud Father“This is a
truly remarkable sporting family and one which is sure to lead to
future sporting success on the international stage. Sue and Camron
are great parents, who together have created an exceptional family.”
