On Saturday 24th January , the Year 8 squash team enjoyed a hugely successful day competing in the Year 9 National Team competition, winning the title in impressive fashion. All three players — Theo, Finn and Noah, who are all in Year 8 competed against older opposition and showed outstanding maturity, skill and determination throughout.
Three matches were played, with comprehensive victories against Whitgift (3–0) and City of London Freemen’s School (3–0), alongside a well-earned 2–1 win against UCS. These results secured the overall title and capped off an excellent team performance.
In addition to their school success, all three boys have also played a key role in helping Islington qualify for the London Youth Games in the Under 17 competition, further highlighting their talent and commitment to the sport.
A huge thank you goes to our squash coach, Ivy, whose dedication has helped grow squash at CFBS into a sport that is now played regularly and with great enthusiasm. We are looking forward to expanding our programme further with lots more teams and fixtures.
