The HCSC 20 Minute Championships concluded on Friday evening and the finals did not disappoint!
The first ever 20 Minute Doubles Final was a great spectacle, with John Mitchley & Marcus Latimer defeating Danny Caulkett & Lizzie Kilsby. There were some cracking rallies and shot making from both pairs, but the synergy between the Mitch/Marcus proved too much to breakdown and they took the victory by 14 points!
It was a belter of a squash as Zafer Bilen took a 13 point head start into the final against Alex Chapman. There was nothing to separate the two players throughout and it looked like Alex was going to catch Zafer going into the last two minutes. Zafer had other ideas, digging in to maintain his lead in the last few rallies and win the title by 7 points.
It was a great championships and fantastic to see so many entries across the events. Thank you to everyone who took part or helped out!
