Fun finals at squash tournament

A highlight of the Waimarino Squash tournament held on 22 and 23 March was the viceversa games played in all finals. Players entered into the spirit of the event and added to the success of the weekend and some players even seemed to play better squash because of being dressed up in clothes of the opposite sex. Among the dress-ups were quite a few garter belts, lacy knickers and gaiters. Peter Barnes, wearing a blue and white striped frock and a blue ribbon in his hair, and Gary Allerby, wearing a red nightie and pink bow were judged the best couple while Grant Pope resplendent right up to a blond wig was judged the best dressed 'woman'. Ross Gillett in long bike pants and bra padded with tennis balls had the dubious honour of having the most indecent dress. Christine Rawiri had the best whiskers.
