T he pair will play a special exhibition match on the final day of the championship thanks to the generous sponsorship of PartnerRe.

We have a very active junior programme which is attracting more girls to take up squash and we want to encourage young girls to be the best they can be.”
Thanks to PartnerRe, local girls with an interest in squash will be invited to watch the exhibition match for free, followed by a coaching clinic during which they can ask the two women players about training and how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
