JUNIOR BOYS SELECTED FOR TRI-SERIES TOURNAMENT
Three Belmont juniors have been chosen to represent Auckland in this year's Auckland/BOP/Waikato Junior Tri-Series Squash Tournament. The tournament runs from the 8th -10th April in Matamata. The boys selected are Henry Pyc - Boys under 17s, Rafa Yam - Boys under 13s, and Matthew Lucente - Boys under 11s. This is a fantastic achievement as only 2 boys/girls are selected per age division to represent Auckland. This is Henry's 3rd selection, Rafa's fourth year to be selected and Matthew's first. Good luck boys - Belmont is very proud of you!

CHANGE OF SCORING FOR SENIOR INTERCLUB
Belmont Squash Convenor Michelle MacGibbon attended a special General Meeting at Squash Auckland recently to vote on the proposed change of scoring for the spring pennant and future pennants. It was voted that the commonly used British Scoring be changed to Point A Rally (PAR) scoring. Although it is thought that this decision may have a negative effect on interclub in the Auckland area, Belmont is still going strong, entering a total of 8 teams in the spring pennant.
