King and Grayson reign supreme in Cambridge

As expected Joelle King and Campbell Grayson have won the North Island titles in Cambridge

Contrasting victories for Joelle King and Campbell Grayson in their respective finals at the North Island Squash Championships in Cambridge.

The top seeds have taken out the titles as expected, completing the North-South double after winning the South Island Championship titles two weeks ago.

King was a dominant force in the women's event throughout the weekend and produced another superb performance in the final, crushing second seed Kylie Lindsay 11-4, 11-6, 11-2.
