TWO of the world's top squash players, and 32 other top-ranked North American players, took park in last weekend's C.H.I.L.D. Squash Team Challenge. The event, which took place at West Vancouver's Hollyburn Country Club, wrapped up on Saturday, Oct. 19 with a silent auction and dinner dance. Players and guests enjoyed socializing and talking about the days events which included some pretty spectacular plays. All monies raised go to support C.H.I.L.D. and their fight against Colitis and Crohn's Disease.
