π AJO 2025 RECAP β Future Stars Shine Bright! π
The Australian Junior Open at the incredible Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre, home to 9 glass-back courts and a stunning all-glass show court, hosted an unforgettable week of squash action. With squash legends like David Palmer, Vicky Cardwell, Anthony Ricketts, Cassie Jackman, Anthony Hill, Jenny Duncalf, and Rachel Grinham having graced the same courts in the past, it was an honour to see the next generation rise to the occasion!
π A huge congratulations to all NSW players on a strong showingβand an extra round of applause to the juniors coached by East Coast Squash Academy! For some, it was their first major international tournament, and they rose to the challenge. πͺ
