New Zealand Win Exectutive Travel Trans-Tasman Junior Series

New Zealand has won the second and final Test of the Executive Travel Junior Squash trans-Tasman series at the Remuera Rackets Club in Auckland.

It’s the fifth series win in a row for the New Zealand team and shows there’s potential for the future.

The home side followed on from their 12-6 victory yesterday with at 13-5 win on Friday which featured a number of top performances again.

The U13 girls pair of Anabel Romero and Maia Smales remained undefeated in their two matches as did the U19 boys, Gabe Yam and Temwa Chileshe.

Individually Tom Marshall, Reece Holmes, Sophie Hodges, Natalie Sayes and Annmarie Holst were all winners of their two matches.

Australia’s big hope for the Oceania’s appears to be in the form of Ethan Eyles who has the pedigree from his father, Rodney who was a former world No.2. Ethan won both of his matches in the Tests.
