CASSIE CROWNED QUEEN OF DUFFIELD
After six years representing the Derbyshire club, world number one and six-time National Champion Cassie Jackman was last night made an honorary life member of Duffield in recognition of her achievements on the world stage and for her invaluable National League services to Duffield Squash Club over the past six seasons.
"To have the world number one player in your team for six successive seasons
has given the manager the 'buzz' to keep Duffield's NL involvement going," said Brian Hargrave, who made the award to Cassie at last night's match.
"Cassie is truly professional in every way and sets an example to younger
players on making life easy for the manager of a NL team. She always keeps
in touch and makes a manager's job easy.
The Duffield Club and supporters recognise and appreciate how privileged we are to have her in our team and to be able to introduce her on court at Duffield as world No 1."
The party was almost spoiled in last night's match against Edgbaston, as Jackman found herself two games down to Isabelle Stoehr before she rallied to secure a win that kept alive Duffield's hopes of reaching this season's semi-finals.
Cassie is getting married on 12 March and the Club also presented her and
her fiancé, Matt Thomas with a Royal Crown Derby dish as a wedding present as a
small memento of her links with Duffield and Derbyshire.
