ROAD TO ENGLAND SELECTION 2025 UPDATE!
With the second half of the selection period starting off this Saturday with the Scottish Open Series event & Trojans Open Satellite event, there are loads of England Selection points up for grabs alongside the 2025 Series ranking points. After a very interesting first period with the two major event being counted, things are looking very tight across a number of the categories… - Men’s Open - National & Open Champs Harris & Mutch (o35s) lead the way but Mutch needs to make sure he gets the required amount of events in the bank! A majority of the chasing pack are in action across Jan & Feb so that gap could close very quickly. - Ladies Open - National & Open Champion Marshall leads the pack and as she is back in action on home turf in Broxbourne in Feb, she has all but nailed down her spot in the team. Symmonds all but there too but needs to get one or two more comps in, as the Kalar sisters amongst others are all competing early on in 2025 and will be on her tail. With the Ladies draws still building year on year there will be some twists and turns to come here I feel! - O40s - Mr Relentless Loska is a shoo-in already after yet another fantastic set of performances at the back end of 2024. After that though things get interesting as Giles is missing the first two event weekends of the year while those below him are all in action! Could be some big changes in the ranking order come post - Broxbourne… - O50s - Phil Hall has been very consistent in this selection period and has earned his place at the top of the pile. Smith had a fantastic end to 2024 however and is chasing him down. With a majority of the chasing pack all in action this Saturday in particular (barring big guns Davies, Powely, Gregory and Morris) there will be some immediate swaps! - O60s - Like Mr Loska, Pat Osborn has been all but unstoppable at the top of the age group and again already has earned his spot in the side. After that however there are a number of players all scrapping it out for the final three places. Most already have their names in the mix for the first couple of events of 2025, but with all events up to and including June’s Welsh Open being counted, there’s plenty of time for the others to pick up their required points. - O70s - Graham Greensall leads this list and should have done the job to get selected. However Graham & Lathbury have been quality additions to the 2024 Series and will be out to stamp their names in the final 4 too. With the remainder all in early 2025 action, there will be plenty of shimmying up and down here too! Let battle commence! With this plus the new 2025 Karakal UK Racketball Series rankings also kicking off, we can’t wait to see what transpires..
