This May saw so the continuation of Truro and Falmouth Juniors battling it out for the Jr Pawle Cup as a warm up to the Men’s Event later in the day.
After Truro won in 2025, Falmouth were keen for revenge.
First up was Truro’s Zach M Vs Falmouth’s Toby G. Zach took an early lead going 1-0 up and continued pressure saw him capitalise and quickly take the second for a 2-0 lead. Zach’s experience proved too much and he eventually won 3-0 to put Truro 1-0 up in the 5 match tie.
Next, Abi B for Truro played Rory P of Falmouth. Abi came into the match full of confidence having just won a Cornwall Ladies B league event. Playing well she quickly went 1-0 up, Rory played a strong 2nd game, but Abi held on to win and go 2-0 up. Abi’s confidence shone through as she took the match 3-0 and Truro to a 2-0 lead.
Aware that another win for Truro would win the tie, Sam M for Falmouth was determined to keep the tie alive against Theo M. Playing some great squash he took the tie with another 3-0 match, bringing Falmouth back into the tie at 2-1.
With pressure still on Jack G of Falmouth was up against Elijah L of Truro, good squash by both players made this the tightest of the matches so far, with all games being 11-9. However it was Jack’s experience that took the match 3-0 and importantly the tie, bringing it back to 2-2 and all to play for in the final match.
The final match was a replay of this year’s u13s County final, where Falmouth’s Paddy S had to withdraw due to injury to Truro’s Rudo K. Squash of the highest order was played in a tense, tight decider. Rudo went 2-0 up after some tight games. Paddy was determined to make Rudo work for the win, but Rudo just squeezed the 3rd 12-10, to take the match 3-0 and the 2026 title for Truro, until next year
