Teenager Gabe Yam (Belmont Park) won his first Professional Squash Association title at the Northland Squash Open over the weekend, beating fellow Aucklander Anthony Lepper (11-6, 11-6, 11-7) in the men's final at the Whangārei Squash Club.

Earlier Yam accounted for Sion Wiggin in his semifinal while Lepper beat Willz Donnelly in his semifinal. Former Northlander, now North Shore player Abbie Palmer took out the women's title, defeating Northland's Sacha Pou-Tito (14-12, 11-5, 11-5).
