Nick Matthew OBE – Could Help Squash Push for Olympic Recognition
2015 Best West Juniors – Prize-giving Sponsored by Harrow
Harrow were proud to Sponsor the Junior Leagues this year and we were delighted that so many players and teams got involved (9 teams and around 80 players).
Giffnock were the West’s winning team, but there were also prizes for the best Junior Boy and Best Junior girl.
Best Junior Girl was won by Elena Murio from DLWE who played 14 fixtures and won 7 (improving her ranking by 480 points, which was the highest for any girl in the league! In fact for anyone I think!)
The Best Junior Boy in the West Junior Leagues was
Kevin Lynch Small who played for Scotstoun and had a ‘played 17 won 10‘ ratio which was an excellent achievement.
Both players are pictured with their West Trophy’s and Harrow Prizes for winning their category.
Well played to everyone who took part and here’s to next season.

Newest Member of the Harrow Team – Orla Young
Orla Young is the newest sponsored player of the Harrow team in Scotland and at just 12 years old she already has some major achievements on the squash court.
She is No 1 under 13 in Scotland (and No 2 under 15 in the rankings). At the Home Nations she did unbelievably well, beating the No 1 from England, Ireland, Wales and France (and based on these results it would not be unreasonable to say that she was the British No 1 under 13!).
Orla has also finished:
- Winner of the Scottish Junior Closed in February
- 3rd in the Danish Junior Open
- Runner-up in the Irish Junior Open
- Runner-up in the Scottish Junior Open.
- Winner of the West Junior Closed
Orla is hoping to win one or two more u13 titles before she turns 13 in November. She’s also currently No 6 in the European Junior Rankings (and
would like to finish in the top 3 before she leaves the age group).
So watch out for this ‘Young’ lady as she has also won over 25 matches for Newlands this season in the west Leagues and her coach Peter O’Hara (sen) has high hopes for her.
