March 11 - 2013 Season Kick's Off!!!
The squash season is well and truly up and running. A group of thirteen from Ohakune travelled to Taihape last Wednesday evening for a club challenge. Games were tied up 6-6 with Ohakune’s, Andy Bennett to play Taihape’s, Stu Stawker in the decider. A good five set match saw Bennett win giving Ohakune the victory 7-6. Taihape will be visiting Ohakune this Wednesday for the return match no doubt to settle the score. Further interclub matches between Ohakune and Taihape are then scheduled for the following six weeks, names to Sarina or on list at club.
Also starting this week at Ohakune is their annual inter-business competition to start the season off. This is held on Thursday evenings and is open to anyone wishing to give squash a try. Teams are made up of five people of mixed ability. Each team needs at least one new non-member. Several teams are already entered and president, Roger Suckling, will be contacting these with start times for this week which is a trial night. Anyone still wanting to enter a team or an individual to be put in a team should ring Roger on 3858835.
The King Country Longrun B grade tournament hosted by Ohakune will be run on 22nd and 23rd March with entries closing this week on 17th March. Names to Roger, John or Sarina if interested.

Leagues 2013
These will be started in April. Leagues involve a group of five players of similar ability. You need to play the other four players at some stage during the month. You get a point for every game you win plus a bonus point for playing and a bonus point for winning the match. There are also bonus points for playing all four matches in the month. At the end of the month the top two in the league move up a league and the lowest two move down a league. It’s an excellent way to meet new people that you may not play. If you would like to enter leagues, add your name to the list on the notice board outside the shop or phone Rosalie or Steve Dowman on 06 385 9346.
