The squash was fierce and competitive last week – and the season is only just starting.

The first tournament of the season held at Better Bodies Cross Training Centre on Thursday through the weekend, sponsored by Air North, was only the first of many chances this season to catch a squash game in Whitehorse.

The next will be the Apres Boo tournament held Nov. 5 to 7.
