Sunday 14th February 2010 will go down as a momentous day in the Walker Grounds one hundred year history as two of its members became British Champions.
Alison Waters and Mark Cowley of Southgate Squash Club both came away with titles at the British National Squash Championships held at Sportcity in Manchester last weeked. Alison won the Women’s Title and Mark the Men’s Over 55 event.
Both matches will probably go down as the most exciting of the thirteen finals that took place that day, with Alison (World Number 5) and Mark both finding themseleves with ‘Match Ball’ down at various times. Mark (England Over 55 No 1) was actually 2-0 down in games and 6-1 down in points and clawed his way back to win in what must have been one of the biggest ‘comebacks’ of the tournament.
The Walker Ground Trustees and membership would like to congratulate Mark and Alison on their terrfiic achievements.
