LDSC gear up for another assault on squash’s FA Cup

LDSC go into the match hoping to do even better than last year’s creditable third place finish.

Captain Steve Davies said: “Last year’s adventure has certainly whetted the appetite for more. Our top players Daryl Selby and Adrian Waller have had tremendous starts to the season.

“Daryl in particular recorded a fabulous win over former world number one, Karim Darwish, last week at the World Championships in Manchester.

“Diana’s are a bit of an unknown quantity and we are hoping that we have enough quality without those players who are competing in Qatar at the moment.

“We learned a lot last season from our first effort in the competition and we made such an impact we were described by the influential Squash Magazine as a ‘heavyweight club’. This year we aim to justify that tag.”

Number one string for this match, Adam Auckland, whose world ranking has shot up to 124 after a summer tour to Australia, is looking forward to the challenge, adding: “Representing LDSC is a real honour and I will strain every sinew to get to the finals weekend.”

The match starts at Lewsey Sports Park at 7pm, entrance is free and all support is welcome.
