International Doubles Invitational Wraps Up

01-Apr-2010 - Gordon Young

The recent International Doubles Invitational hosted by Squash England and the National Squash Centre in Manchester, England has served as a major hitout for the leading Commonwealth nations and a key selection event for many of the teams, including Australia before the Commonwealth Games in Delhi later this year. The tour to UK by the Australian Delhi 2010 Shadow Squad is supported by the Australian Commonwealth Games Association.

The 2010 Delhi Shadow Squad led by Head Coach Byron Davis, Assistant Coach Michelle Martin and Manager Rodney Eyles
has competed against some of the best Commonwealth squash players working in pairs in Men's, Women's and Mixed Doubles events.

The Shadow Sqaud Doubles Camp in Manchester has seen some great efforts by our Australian players. Listed below are the final placings for Australian Team members.
