I’m delighted to announce that Blair Christie is the newest member of the Harrow Squash Team and will be playing and coaching with the Harrow Vapor.

Blair is an ex-Scotland International at Under 16 & 19 and was Scottish No 1 for around 18 months at Under 19; as well as being U19 Scottish Champion (he also captained the U19 team at the Worlds in Hong Kong and the European Championships in Denmark).

All-in-all Blair received around 50 caps at all levels (including Senior B squad several times in home internationals – and this was in the days when Scotland had Peter Nicol/Colin Keith/Peter O’Hara/Barry Sutherland etc) and he’s now developing squash in Central Scotland where he has recently started coaching.

Another great name plays with Harrow!

Ex-Scottish International, Scottish over 35’s No.1, Coach, West League No.1 for Newlands Peter O’Hara has done it all in Scotland and I’m delighted to announce that he is now going to continue his squash career using Harrow rackets.

Peter was impressed by the weight and feel of the Harrow Vapor and felt it was the right time to make a change to the new racket.  And I’m really looking forward to seeing the ball being fizzed all over the court by ‘Pistol Pete’ wielding his new weapon!

The 2010 Scottish Junior Nationals saw Harrow’s Kirsty Lobban (left) win the girls U15 age group and Gillian Crawford come 2nd in the girls U19 and Chris Leiper (right) added a 3rd place in the boys U17s to complete the Harrow 1-2-3.

David Lloyd Renfrew’s Morgan Maguire won the girls Under 17s and there was also an all David Lloyd semi-final in the boys U15s between Ben Mazzucco (from the Glasgow West End Club) who was just piped by the eventual U13 winner Jason Lang (from the Renfrew Club).

And the future is looking bright for the West as  another two players took the honours in the U13s with Harry Anderson of Whitecraigs RFC winning his first national title and Adam Reid from Whitecraigs LTC/Newlands winning the U11s.
