Duncan Rutherford, who plays for the Northern junior first team has been awarded the John Dale trophy for the 2023 / 24 season.
This prestigious award is made to the junior that has best represented Northumbria squash during the previous season, with emphasis on attitude both on and off court, as well as results at a national level.
Duncan totally fits the bill. He reached a career England ranking of number 3, just before he left the Under 15 age group in June of this year and was very unlucky to have missed a couple of events that would have seen him gain an England cap.
As well as being a top player, Duncan has a fantastic attitude and is a great role model for younger juniors in the county. In fact he has just started to volunteer as an assistant coach to encourage younger players.
Our congratulations go to Duncan for a well merited award
