Talented teens will fly the flag for Scotland in Malmo
Strathgryffe trio aim to medal at European Championships
Three squash players from Houston’s Strathgryffe Tennis, Squash and Fitness Club have been selected to represent Scotland this summer.
Teenagers Beth Moglia, John Meehan and Ruadhri McDougall will compete at under-17 level for Scotland at the European Team Championships in Sweden.
The five-strong Scotland squad will travel to Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city, in May to compete against Europe’s finest junior squash players.
Their selection follows recent success for the trio at the Scottish Junior National Championships in Aberdeen where Moglia and Meehan claimed silver medals in the girls under-17 and boys under-17 events respectively with McDougall claiming bronze in the boys event.
Moglia won a silver medal in both the girls under- 17 and under- 15 events at Aberdeen Squash and Racketball Club with John Meehan securing a silver in the boys under-17 tournament.
In December last year the Strathgryffe and pair enjoyed success together at the Scottish Junior Doubles Championships winning the mixed doubles title at Scotstoun Leisure Centre, Glasgow.
Coach Martin Woods said: “All three players have worked very hard over the past few years and their selection is a great reward for the time and effort they have put in.
“Strathgryffe has been a great club for them to join.
“It offers a very supportive approach to the development of junior squash players and has definitely contributed to the players’ success.”
