Carver Cup – Leon Does the Double
Finally, in the 2024 Carver Cup Squash Handicap Tournament final, Leon Smith defeated his father, Jason, in a thrilling match. Leon, starting each game with a -19 point disadvantage, surged to a 2-0 lead. Jason fought back with experience and skill, leveling the match 2-2 after 50 minutes. In the deciding fifth game, Leon’s tactical play and endurance wore down Jason, and he claimed victory at 6-6 to win the title for the second year in a row.

In the B Final, Amrit triumphed over newcomer Kash Sandle in a dramatic 3-2 finish. The A Plate saw Amar defeat his brother Arjun 3-0, and John Williams won the B Plate against Nigel Grinsell.

The tournament’s vibrant atmosphere showcased the squash community’s spirit, with both juniors and adults participating. A big thank you to all members who support the club and help squash thrive at WLTSC.

Lastly, heartfelt thanks to Henry Carver of Carvers Builders Merchants for over 50 years of unwavering support for these championships. Your dedication has left a lasting impact on the club and tournament.

I look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming events or classes. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Best regards,
Mike Harris
Head Coach of Squash & Racketball
