Let's go Central!!

06/08/2026

Back home to the cold!
The teams part of the tournament was pretty cool, playing Zakaria was a highlight. We played Egypt, Germany, Macau China, Mexico and Scotland and finished 18th overall in the teams.
Overall I won 6, lost 6. Some real tight 5 setters that didn't go my way, but got lots of learnings from them
Great experience to represent NZ.
Thank you to all that have supported getting me there.
Next up Team Champs in Napier representing Central next weekend.

Been a busy couple of days.
Thanks to those watching at home. (Cool pic, sent from home) Tough 5 setter going down to Pak To Lau from Hong Kong, with some very long rallies. Body needed a rest.
The rest helped as today I played Mexican Alexis Sebastian Martin Rosas and won in 3. Which then meant I faced team mate Vihan Chathury, won this also in 3.
Tomorrow will be my final individual game against Rasmus Taube Eliasson from Sweden.
Lots of squash, cool to watch some of the top Juniors in the world.

Up early today, headed over to breakfast and on the way, see some of Canadas wildlife.
Had a couple of training sessions and then a bit of downtime, so we headed off to see Niagara Falls. Pretty awesome.
Tomorrow is game day, tough first match playing Ismail Khalil who is seeded 17/24 from England. Will be 2.40am NZT Tuesday morning, will keep you posted on how I go.
Thanks to all those who have helped get me there and are cheering me on from home

Made it to the airport!
After a hectic morning due to 2 canceled flights due to weather, mum drove me up to Auckland (legend), so could make the flight to Canada in time.
Now a 13hr flight to Vancouver, 4hrs over to Toronto then a drive to Niagara on the lake.
Looking forward to warm weather.
