Win for 8 year old Ollie Coulcher-Porter in Under 11s squash tournament
Last weekend 20/21st September 2014, Ollie Coulcher-Porter stamped his intentions on the squash world by winning the E grade in the Racquets Open Graded Squash Tournament.
Ollie is just 8 years old but he is already aiming big.
The E grade was contested by 8 lads with their ages ranging from 8 to 15. Some of the games were very closely fought and Ollie showed a strength of mind to come through as the winner.
Ollie started playing squash regularly earlier this year and practices every chance he gets.
Sue Martin-Downhill, Ollie’s squash coach said ‘We are all very proud of the way he handled the pressure of the tournament and look forward to him competing in the Oxfordshire Junior Closed this coming weekend at Abingdon Squash Club. As this weekend will be Ollie’s first tournament away from home there are no expectations of winning the tournament but we will be interested to see how he fares against the other under 11s’.
Later the same day the World number #57, Rex Hedrick, played and won against the World number #27, Adrian Waller. A bit of an upset there which the club members all enjoyed watching.
