Personally the highlight of the tournament was Judith Orr, such an inspiration to everyone over the weekend, (for those that weren't able to make it, Judith is well experienced squash player from Titirangi) taking out her division with incredible determination and spirit. Personalities like that are what makes our sport so special. Thank you Judith - you rock! And how cool was the Titirangi crew coming down for the weekend in the Titi Bus - Titi to Toe-paw anytime.
Our man Ian has summed up a epic weekend with an epic video.
