Wycliffe College squash players achieved a triple crown at the National Schools Championships in Manchester.

The Stonehouse school won the Under-19s Boys, U15s and the U19s Girls titles.

For the Wycliffe squad it was a great triumph. Nine of the 12 players have been at Wycliffe for less than year.

The U19s final saw the two most prestigious schools in squash, Wycliffe College and Millfield School, battle it out. The boys match was stuck at 2-2,but Wycliffe had more strength in the end and took the title with a 3-2 score.

"They were all brilliant victories, but the U19s boys was special because it was so even and it all came down to the last match," said Jonny.

It is the first time since 1997 that Wycliffe's U19s Girls have secured a national crown. They beat Dame Allans 3-2.

The U15s Boys had a more decisive 4-1 victory against Gosforth Academy to secure their national title.

Jonny Harford, Director of Squash, believes Wycliffe is the first school to scoop three titles in the championships.

He said: "Squash is usually an individual sport so it was nice to see the players come together as a squad and celebrate as a team."
