Racketball Open Success at BSC
A brilliant effort by Dan and all our players that took part.
One final big upset was that of the Open Final where Broxbourne Head Coach Nick Mulvey managed to avenge last year’s final loss and take down Luke Bishop 2/0 in a high quality match with both players utilising all their ball skill and retrieving abilities to the maximum.
Special mention must go to Amber Marshall who has now had the Broxbourne Show Court named after her in recognition of her Squash and Racketball achievements to date!
Congratulations Amber and a lovely gesture from the club too.
