Congratulations to Lucy Cadness-Aspinall (pictured left), the Auckland Secondary Schools Individual Squash Championship runner-up.
Held for the first time at Eden Epson Squash Club at the end of May, the inaugural tournament attracted a mix of Auckland’s top secondary school’s players and ungraded ones too. Seeded third, the Westlake Girl’s captain Lucy Cadness-Aspinall led by example, performing fiercely against the higher ranked number two seed Justine Pausch from Takapuna Grammar. Lucy won in a thrilling five-set encounter full of brilliant point winners. The multi-division event was eventually won by Anne Leakey from Orewa College.
Six students represented Westlake Girls at the multi division event and ungraded Year 10 student, Brianna Bailey, had a commendable runner up finish in the 4th Division.
The Squash Team is now preparing to defend their Auckland Secondary Schools title on 21 -21 June at the North Shore Squash Centre in Takapuna before competing in New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship in August, which will be held at the same venue.
