Premier Club Competitions Kicks off Tonight

Remuera Rackets in Auckland plays host to the Mitchell Cup and Cousins Shield this long weekend, the battle to find the top club in NZ.

The Cousins Shield and Mitchell Cup are the premier club teams events for men and women respectively in New Zealand squash. Highly sought after, these awards have been contested since 1948 (Cousins Shield) and 1958 (Mitchell Cup). The Cousins Shield event pits teams of five men per club against other clubs. The club that wins three or more matches wins the tie. The Mitchell Cup follows the same format, but has variously been contested by teams of four or five players in different years.

The 2013 event will be hosted by Remuera Rackets Club in Auckland (proud winners of the Cousins Shield in 1965-68, 1975, 1989, 1993-94, 2003-04 and 2010, and of the Mitchell Cup in 1959-60, 1962, 1969-72, 1977, 1979-81, 1987, 1989-90, 1994-97, 1999-2007 and 2009) over Queen's Birthday weekend (May 31 - 3 June).

Results will be posted over the weekend on the Squash NZ Facebook page - www.fb.com/Squashnz
