Faith Sinclair from High Shincliffe, the reigning world women's over 50 champion, collected her tenth Durham and Cleveland squash title last week at the Ashbrooke Club in Sunderland by winning the over 35 event 3-1 against Sarah Hirst (Darlington).

Andy Cross (Norton SC) took his first county title as a relative newcomer to the area, in beating defending champion Peter Lonsdale in the men's over 35 final, also by 3-1.
