Squash: National tournament coming Kamo's way

The AD Long Masters Club Team Championships have drawn 16 teams to the Kamo Rugby and Squash Club to compete this weekend for the title.

The North Shore Squash Club will be the top seeds and should everything go to seeding they will face fellow Auckland team Papakura 1 in the final.

Kamo 1 will be looking to make their way to the final with home court advantage and a seeding of three in the event.

The 2016 winners, Silverdale, will be looking to retain their title but will have a tough challenge in fourth seeding and having to potentially face top seeds North Shore in the semifinals.

Meanwhile local side Mid-Western will be seeking to take top honours in their division claiming the top spot in their draw.

All going to plan they will face fellow Northland team Mangakahia in the final where there will be sure to be some strong local rivalry between the players. Manurewa take third position in Division Two while Whangarei 3 round out the top four.

The Kamo Rugby and Squash Club last held a national event in 1994 - the Masters Nationals - so they will be sure to put on a top event.

The AD Long Cup has been played for by club teams since 1999.

Teams are made up of four players (male and/or female) of any grade from the same club, and part of the masters age group (35+) as at the first day of the event.

Clubs play ties against each other in round-robin and/or knockout format to decide the winner.
