Local Squash Juniors Achieve Podium Finish

April 29, 2025

A group of talented Ingham Squash juniors recently travelled to Townsville to compete in a Northern region squash tournament. The event was held at the Dalrymple Squash Centre and was part of the selection process for Northern juniors to be selected into the Northern Redbacks team to compete at the Queensland Junior Championships.

Juniors from Mackay to Cairns took part in the two-day event ranging in ages from under 10 to under 19. Our Ingham contingent played extremely well against some of the best players in the North and almost all players received a podium finish. In division four local lad, Ashton Hoyle and Maraka princess, Hazel Cary finished second and first respectively. Oliver Hoyle finished second in division three against a class field, while Oliver Flynn finished third in division two. Queensland representative player, Liam Fascetti outclassed his competitors winning division one. Senior girl player, Kara Nash, who continues to improve with every tournament, fought her way to third place in the girl’s division. Other players who participated and played well, gaining valuable experience, were Clint Seri and Niko Dillon.

Players are now training hard for next weekend’s compulsory tournament in Mackay where the Northern Region Redbacks team will be announced. Good luck!
