Young Northland squash players have excelled at the North Island Junior Age Groups with three boys from Parua Bay Primary School coming first, second and third in the U13 division.

Northland juniors took a clean sweep of the U13 Boys in the North Island Age Group Juniors last weekend.

Freddie Jameson, Cam Griffin and Flynn Venmore all from the small Manaia Squash Club were first, second and third respectively.

Cam and Flynn both beat higher seeded players in tough five-setters to make it through to the semifinals and play each other, while top seed Freddie comfortably made it through to the final where he faced clubmate Cam. Freddie won the final in three sets.

Freddie and Flynn are cousins. They will all be going to the AIMS Games in Tauranga in September with others from the school.
