SquashLevels Report – ProAir British Junior Championships

2nd November 2023

The 2023 ProAir British Junior Championships have come to an exciting close. While we celebrate the new champions—like Jonah Bryant in the Boys Under 19 and Amelie Haworth in the Girls Under 19—it’s also crucial to highlight the star performers based on their level improvements. Let’s dig in with this SquashLevels Report.

The Winners:

Jonah Bryant (Sussex) lifted the Boys Under 19 Don Sanderson trophy after defeating Abd-Allah Eissa (Warks) in straight games. Similarly, Amelie Haworth (Hants) secured her fourth BJC title with a straight games win over 14-year-old Mariam Eissa (Warks).

We also had first-time winners like Dylan Roberts (Kent) in Boys Under 17 and Emily Coulcher-Porter (Oxon) in Girls Under 17. Both fought hard to claim their titles.
