Manaia Open a great success
Posted: 28/03/17
The Manaia Open was a massive success with 58 entries and we were able to finish on the Saturday night. There was some great squash being played throughout the weekend as well as a lot of laughs and fun. Our Women’s Open was taken out by Karen Morgan who beat Crystal Rhodes in a four setter. The Men’s Open was taken out by Michael Sunderland who took down Bruce Smith in a three setter. Amy Brown was the lucky winner of the Payer series draw. All other results are below. Huge thanks to all entrants and Manaia members for helping make this a great and fun tournament.
With only being a 2 court club this was always going to be tough for us getting through 58 entries and finishing on the Saturday night however it was achieved. Obviously we had some great members helping make this happen but a huge part of this running on time was the PAR 11. PAR 11 worked extremely well for us I am glad we decided as a club to follow this initiative from Squash Northland and I think Squash Northland have done a great job in suggesting clubs use this scoring.
