Sweet win for Smith

Nazhir Smith claimed his first major tournament victory at just 17 years old after winning the RUBiS Divisional Handicap Squash Tournament.

Smith, who is theisland #1 junior player, said after his success: “This is my first big tournament win — it feels pretty good! 

“I’m looking forward to training hard for my next big event in Canada and hopefully ending up in the same position there.”

RUBiS have now sponsored this event for six years with past winners including Micah Franklin and Nick Kyme. This year featured over 75 players aged seven to 67 years old.

Bermuda Squash Racquet Association director of squash Patrick Foster said in a press release: “This event is one of the best on the squash calendar, providing fun competition for players of all standards. We thank RUBiS for the continued support in hosting this great tournament.”
