The penultimate squash tournament for 2018, the Lucozade Handicap squash tournament, continued at the Georgetown Club courts on Thursday evening with play in both the A and the Open categories.
In the Open category, Nyron Joseph (-22) the player with the lowest handicap had to call on all his experience to eventually defeat Robert Natiello (8) by two sets to one.

Regan Pollard (-12) proved to be too strong for Ashley Khalil (-4) as he won the match in straight games 15 – 11, 15 – 7. The closest match of the evening saw Jonathan Antczak (6) come from one game down to defeat Javid Rahaman (-2) 13 – 15, 15 – 10, 15 – 10, while Adam Alves (4) also had to overcome a first game deficit when he defeated Dane Pereira (10) 12 – 15, 15 – 9, 15 – 8.
