Our sympathy and condolences go out to his family. Bill Dyson was the first paid Squash Wellington Executive Officer from 1980 to 1990. During his time we (Squash Wellington) ran pokie machines in what is now Molly Malones Irish Pub, in Wellington and the "original" cash reserves of the Association were due in no small part to Bill's work running the machines. Bill's age is not given in the death notice, but we suspect that he would have to be in his very late 80's, if not early 90's. Bill's Funeral was held at the Church of St Anthony, Falkirk Avenue, Seatoun, at 1pm on Friday 7th November. squashwellington | News | 9 November, 4:35am Kitchen cooks Grinham in New York A big win for New Zealand's Shelley Kitchen on the WISPA world squash tour.

(draws available from Monday - see link below) With Wellington's Evan Williams unable to defend the title he won in 2007 due to turning 19 last week, the door has opened for his three teammates from July's Junior Men's World Championships in Switzerland. Auckland's Alex Grayson and Cameron Jamieson, and Wellington's Keegan Burkhart all have the credentials to take out the under 19 crown, although they are not the only players with a realistic chance at winning. Bay of Plenty's Matiu Te Kani-McQueen is also capable of being in the mix, as is Auckland's Lui Syder, who was a late withdrawal from the world championship team due to injury. In contrast, the under 19 girl's event looks likely to be a one horse race. Waikato's Amanda Cranston is the red hot favourite to retain the title she won in 2007. Central's Amanda Landers-Murphy is expected to be Cranston's stiffest opposition, while the Waikato pair of Alana Sincock and Kendyl Morris could also be in the mix. The New Zealand Junior Squash Championships get underway at SquashGym in Palmerston North on Thursday October 2, with 250 juniors competing across the various age groups. Previous winners of the glamour under 19 titles include Dame Susan Devoy, Shelley Kitchen and Ross Norman. The Wellington Team is.... Boys: Keeghan Burkhart, Collegians: Richard Pittams, Upper Hutt Sean O’Connell, Waimea: Josh Wood, Waimea: Ben Allan, Collegians: Girls: Emma Millar, Kapiti: Eliza Sim, Tawa: Rebecca Barnett, Mitchell Park: Gemma Gee, Upper Hutt: Leah Orr, Nelson: Coach: Nick Mita.

The Squash event will be held at the Wanganui Squash Club over 4 days during the week of the Games from Thursday 5 February to Sunday 8 February (Doubles only on Sunday). This event is run in 5-year age groups starting at 35+. Each age range is also graded so players are in with opponents near to their own ability. Although the event caters for serious players the emphasis is on fun and we encourage beginners to give it a go as well. On the Friday of the Squash event there is a bar-b-q at the clubrooms. The NZ Masters Games is renowned for its social activities with the Tent at the Games Headquarters providing a great venue for socialising. Entry to the social activities is included in the registration fee and there are normally two live bands performing every night during the week of the Games. So if you want to experience something different and meet some new squash friends then come and enjoy the occasion. There are numerous other sports available if you want to give something else a go as well.

Seven hundred and fifty five players from 39 countries will compete in the eight-day event, which commences on October 19. Barry Gardiner, chairman of the organising committee and himself a two-time world masters champion, said that the event will be bigger than Cape Town of two years ago and one of the biggest ever held in the world. “Nearly half of the entries are from overseas which is amazing considering our isolated spot on the globe and the present tough world economic conditions. It indicates the pulling power New Zealand has as a tourist attraction and the good thing is that many of these visitors have indicated they will holiday in the country afterwards,” he said. “We have strong support through all the grades, especially in the 45 – 49 and 50 – 54 age groups and even have 13 entered in the men’s over 75 age group which is incredible,” he said. Gardiner was optimistic that Peter Snell would also play in the event as he is a keen racquetball player in the United States, but a knee injury while competing in the US Orienteering champs in Wyoming last month ruled him out of coming back ‘Downunder’. The event will be held at six host clubs, Christchurch, Christchurch Football, Burnside, Squashways, Richmond and Sockburn. The New Zealand Masters Championships will be held immediately after the world event so that is another reason for our optimism. http://www.worldmasterssquash.com Further information: Barry Gardiner, ph 027-274-7834 squashwellington | News | 10 September, 11:34pm Champion of Champions 2008 - The Winners Champion of Champions 2008 This prestigious District event was held at Squash@UpperHutt this weekend The Winners of each Grade contested were....
