Oliver and Emily lead the Oxfordshire charge – March 2016

Oliver and Emily Coulcher-Porter, aged 10 and 8, are representing Oxfordshire in Regional and UK U11 inter-county tournaments as Number 1 boy and girl next month.

They started their squash careers at Racquets Fitness Centre in Thame under the watchful eye of coach Sue Martin-Downhill.

Still loyal to their club they have gained further skills from the club’s coach Will John.

The children are delighted that their hard work is paying off.

Emily, ranked 21 in the UK, is the second youngest girl ranked in the UK rankings. She is very excited to wear the Oxfordshire colours for the first time. Oliver ranked 20 in the UK rankings is determined to beat some of his rivals in preparation for the GB championships in the Summer.

Their mother, Jane, said , “I am proud of their achievements and their dedication. I’m very grateful to everyone who has supported them.”
