Harvey Round Motors Wanganui still lead the points table after a nail-biting second round of the Premier Central Interclub Squash Series in Marton on Tuesday night.
Wanganui came up against a strong Squash Gym Gold team and the match went right down to the wire with the River City side
snatching victory in the final game.
First up for Palmerston North-based Squash Gym Gold was a talented sportsman Wanganui knows well.
Tennis pro Victor Romero, head coach for the Wanganui Tennis Club, was pitted against Steven Bennett. Romero lives in Palmerston North and commutes to Wanganui for tennis coaching duties.
In an epic battle Romero, who has only been playing squash for 18 months and is nearly at A-grade level, won in five sets - 6/11, 14/12, 12/14, 9/11, 11/6.
