Favourites Shine In British Junior Championships At Millfield

The four favourites emerged victorious in the British Under 17/13 Squash Championships which were hosted by Millfield School in Somerset . 170 of the country's most talented juniors descended on the school which not only boasts fantastic facilities, but is also home to the legendary six-times British Open champion Jonah Barrington .

Hertfordshire's Adrian Waller added the Under 17 crown to the Under 13 and Under 15 titles that he has amassed while progressing through the age groups. In the final against Alex Ingham of Surrey, the 16-year-old from Enfield edged the close first game before easing away to win 10-8, 9-2, 9-6 in 57minutes.

Top seed Victoria Bell ( Cumbria ) finally collected her first British title after beating Sarah-Jane Perry (Warwickshire) 9-4, 9-0, 9-0 in the Girls' Under 17 Final. Victoria looked at ease all weekend and lifted the title without losing a game. Perry, a 3/4 seed, pulled of a sensational marathon upset over former Under 15 Champion Natalie Pritchard (Wales), the No2 seed, but was no match for Bell in the final.

Both the Under 13 categories went according to the seedings with finals contested by the top two players. In the Boys' final, Oliver Holland (Nottinghamshire) lived up to his billing as the country's No1 by beating Gloucestershire's Tom Ford 9-4, 9-1, 9-1 in a polished performance.

Cheshire's Emily Whitlock claimed the Girls' Under 13 crown with a highly-impressive 9-3, 9-0, 9-0 victory over Chloe Pearson (Warwickshire) in just 19 minutes. Emily, the daughter of former British National champion Phil Whitlock, was in outstanding form and in a class of her own all weekend - dropping just 10 points in her four matches.

Top Squash Juniors Head For Millfield School

The British Under 17/13 Squash Championships will take place this weekend (27-29 October) at Millfield School in Street, Somerset, for the first time. The event will see almost 170 of the top juniors from around the country converging on the renowned school in search of a coveted British junior title.

Millfield School, which enjoys an international reputation for sport, is home to the legendary six-times British Open champion Jonah Barrington and his Squash Academy. The school is extremely successful at squash and is a dominant force in the England Squash National School Championships, of which they have held both the Boys' and Girls' Under 19 titles for the last four years.

Top seeds in this year's Boys' Under 17 Championship are Adrian Waller (Hertfordshire) and Alex Ingham (Surrey). Adrian will be looking to go one better than last year - when he was runner-up to Surrey's Joe Lee - and add the Under 17 to the British Under 13 and Under 15 titles that he has already amassed. Alex, the 2005 British Under 15 champion, will be sure to provide stiff competition.

Victoria Bell is the No1 seed in the Girls' Under 17 event and will also be aiming to build on last season where she was runner-up in the Under 17 and beaten semi-finalist in the Under 19 Championships. In the latter, the 16-year-old from Carlisle came extremely close to reaching the final with match balls against Sussex's Rachel Willmott – who went on to win the title. The No2 seed, who comes into the event with two British Under 15 titles already to her name, is Natalie Pritchard of Wales..

In the Under 13 Championships, Oliver Holland (Nottinghamshire) and Emily Whitlock (Cheshire) will start as hot favourites for the titles - but will face determined opposition from the likes of Tom Ford (Gloucestershire) and Chloe Pearson (Warwickshire).

The Championships involve a heavy schedule with matches running from 9.00am on Friday 17 October with the finals scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday 19 October. Any visiting spectators will be welcomed free of charge.
