US Silver Nationals

CitySquash sent four juniors to these Championships, Myriam Kelly, GU19, Darrius Campbell, BU15, and Robert Williams, and Noel Ortega BU11.
 
These Championships were played at Williams College in the beautiful hills of the Berkshires. We were fortunate to have Rebecca Martin find us accommodation in a beautiful timeshare resort 20 minutes from the College. Many thanks especially from Darrius who enjoyed the Jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom!
 
For Robert and Noel this was a huge learning experience. They had both been to the US Gold Closed National Championships and had a really tough time. Once again they had a tough tournament, but they both played some good squash and they will have learnt how to take their game to the next level.
 
For Darrius and Myriam, this was a terrific tournament. Myriam was seeded 3rd with Darrius being 5-8th seed. What a joy to watch Darrius, he never stops smiling and congratulating his opponent on good shots. He played some great squash, never giving up, always trying hard and chasing the ball down. He does play some risky shots, but when they come off they are spectacular and his cross court drop from the back left hand corner of the court is amazing! Darrius ended up finishing 3rd in the BU-15 and Myriam won the GU-19 event. A great Silvers and wonderful squash and WELL DONE CITYSQUASH.
