They achieved a fantastic third position which is a great achievement for such a young team.

Emma has previously been playing number 2 for the Under-11s North West team which covers Cumbria, Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire. The sporting enthusiast has been playing squash since she was four years old.

Emma said: “I also play tennis but I prefer squash as it is such a fast paced sport and has a lot more variation in technique.

I really enjoyed playing with the Lancashire team and I hope to continue to play with them for a long time. We get to meet lots of new people and I love taking part in such a dynamic team sport.”

Congratulations to Emma and her team, and good luck to them with future competitions!
