Defending champions take home the silverware at the Cousins Shield & Mitchell Cup
8 Jun 2021
The long weekend saw teams from around the country compete for the prestigious Cousins Shield and Mitchell Cup. Last years event was cancelled due to Covid-19 so teams were extra hungry this year!
The women competing for the Mitchell Cup boasted 16 teams from around New Zealand, featuring some of New Zealand’s best from around the country.
The final saw defending champions Hamilton squash and tennis take on historic powerhouse Remuera Rackets club. This final did not disappoint going into the final matchup 2-2 it ended going Hamilton’s way courtesy of a 5th game victory.
The men were fighting for the Cousins Shield. The teams ranged from Burnside in Canterbury up to the Auckland Teams.
Returning champions Lugton Park took on host club Devoy Squash and Fitness in the mens final. Although Devoy S&F had the home crowd roaring, it was defending champions Lugton Park who took home the honours, winning the first 3 matchups.
Congratulations to all teams who took to the courts over the weekend! And thank you to Devoy Squash and Fitness for hosting a fantastic event!
