JUNIORS at Hexham Squash Club shone as they faced teams from across the country.

William Marrow and Tom Jepson were joined by Ollie Forster, of Jesmond’s The Northumberland Club, as they represented Northumbria U11 in the Inter-County Squash Cup at Kenilworth, in Warwickshire.

And they finished an eye-catching sixth place from 28 teams, showing their great potential against the best the country has to offer.

The Northumberland trio topped their group by defeating Worcestershire 3-0 and Derbyshire 2-1.

They lost their quarter-finals tie 3-0 to losing finalists Kent, but ended up finishing in sixth as they won their first play-off game 3-0 versus Middlesex before ending with a 3-0 defeat to Essex.

All three impressed as the team picked up a total of 11 points from the five matches.
