Players began the exciting annual event back in August and before all games were completed, lockdown struck, forcing the postponement of the remaining games.

Eventually, on November 30, competition was permitted to resume at the Services Club and the long awaited games resumed where they left off.

Remaining finals games were held on that day, with the Grand Final events being held on Thursday, December 2.

Due to COVID restrictions, players were not allowed to spectate at the courts, however to overcome this hurdle, two go pros were installed at the courts and games were livestreamed via facebook for all to see.

The Cowra Squash Club projected the games onto a large screen within the club, with many squash members and players cheering the competitors on from inside the club.

As always, the games were played at a high standard, with players giving their best efforts for the chance to get their 'name of the board'.

Everyone showed their typical strong sportsmanship qualities to ensure that although games were competitive, they were still enjoyable for all.

Results were:

Men's A Grade: Mitchell Beer def Jamie Austin

Men's B Grade: Lewis McFarland def Hugh Bryant

Men's C Grade: Chris Day def Kimball Sullivan

Mens's D Grade: McKay Sullivan

Women's A Grade: Tracey def Chloe Lanham

Women's B Grade: Chloe Lanham def Sandra Uren

Women's C Grade: Sandra Uren def Emma Tree

Women's D Grade: Imogen Park def Faith Hoppe
