New Island Squash Director
Ben Rosec was announced last month as Guernsey's new Squash Director and will be
taking up the position from 4th August.
The French number 34 will be taking over from both Peter Bridgeman, who has been
the island's squash director since 2003, and Martin Watts who has been Assistant
Director since 2005.
With the new director coming in and the recent changes by the GSRA to hold all events
at Beau Sejour, there is a lot of anticipation for this new season.
Ben is generously offering your first squash lesson for 1/2 price in August only! Contact Ben directly

play two matches each day for a final position.
Natalie Dodd playing in the Under 17 girls’ finished 13th overall whilst
Katherine Jensen playing in the Under 13 came 9th overall. Katherine has
been selected to play for the South East area in the Inter area Championships in
Birmingham on the weekend of 12-13th April 2008.

Junior Island Championships 2008
There were surprises throughout the Ogier Junior Island Squash Championships
as over forty youngsters battled it out for a number of hotly contested for titles.
James Brehaut comfortably won the U17 boys’ title taking all matches in straight
sets including the final beating Mark Le Conte. In the U15 boys final Jack
Tacon led 8-2 in the first game only to lose the game and soon after the
match again Harry Martel. The U13 boys event perhaps provided the biggest
shock of the weekend with favourite Janick Radford taken to five sets by
up and coming Charles Stenner. The U17 Girls’ event saw Issey Norman-Ross
retain her title and Katherine Jenson won the combined U15 / U13 girls’ event.
