Knole Park 1st Squash team have gained promotion to North West Kent Division 2 (Winter) after an unbeaten run of seven matches. The last, clinching ties were against local promotion rivals Poultwood, who they beat 4-1, and a clean sweep 5-0 in the final match against Nuffield Health of Bromley.
This makes up in some part for the disappointment of last Summer, when Knole Park were beset by injuries and absences and dropped back to Division 3. Knole will be keen to make this promotion stick. Their success will depend upon a steady influx of new players to bolster their squad.
Knole Park’s team have been led throughout recent seasons by number 1 David Falconer, pictured here arriving for a recent match. David plays for the Kent Over 50s team and is proof that age is not a barrier to success in this fast-paced sport.
