Poem
Here in far off Borneo, junior squash players are gathered in numbers... Young and energetic, these are Malaysia's young hopefuls and contenders... In the numbing heat within this immense hall, the muted thuds of hard hit balls... Interrupt the cacophony of low conversations permeating through this hall... Spectators, mostly loving parents, they are one with all the juniors in this tourney.... Raucously cheering the eager young players, battling each other for squashing glory.. Teary losers are pitiful sights aplenty, heaving gasps of disappointment and sobs... While the victors are warmly congratulated, savoring the highs with renewed hopes... Where a closely fought match is being played, spectators they swarm the area... Viewing space then is standing room only, gasps, groans and cheers are vocal and clear.. With 8 courts and featuring 197 players of various ages in the serious business of winning... Suspense and excitement are very much visible, in both parents, players and supporters... With the promise of cash prizes, hopes are high for cash and glory till the final win.. These young squash players, talented and motivated, must be nutured and developed... As future kings and queens of squash, junior champions they are today but tomorrow.... Many will continue to grow and one day, and the best will lay claim to squash lofty throne... For such promising young squash talents, it will be a long journey to excellence... Many of them will go astray, few will make it all the way, for many studies hold sway.. All these years, Malaysia as a nation hold her breath while trying to do the utmost best... Of finding a potent squash player, good enough to take over once Datuk Nicol David rests.. Looks like the writing is on the wall, our darling squash queen is finally dislodged from her perch.. Who now can we hope, who now is good enough to quickly climb up to the very top of the perch... As did the sweet smiling queen of squash, Datuk Nicol David for a phenomenal 109 weeks.. Of dominance over a frantic chasing pack of world class players, the Egyptians ahead of the rest..... So here we are, this Asian Junior Squash sanctioned Silver Event for junior squash tornament.. To witness how young talented juniors come together as friends and foes in this tournament... To showcase individual talents, and meet expectations and hopes for Malaysian Squash for tomorrow... Squash On, Juniors! Take on the world!
