Young squash players shone at the annual children’s Squashtival tournament organised by Ikoyi Club 1938, with Khadijat Durosinlorun and Abdul Hamid Durosinlorun emerging champions in the girls’ and boys’ categories respectively, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The tournament, held as part of the club’s children’s squash development programme, attracted young players who had spent weeks in training ahead of the competition.
Khadijat, who also won the previous edition, said she was delighted to defend her title, attributing her victory to consistent training and support from her family.
“Well, I’m very, very happy that I won. I was actually the one that won last year, and I’m happy I’m able to win this year’s one too,” she said.
“I actually train a lot. I train every day, so I feel like I have done a lot to win, and I deserve to win this time.”
