SIBU: A total of 107 squash players will compete in the three-day CMS Sarawak Circuit Sibu-leg at SMK Sacred Heart from Aug 30.

Squash Racquets Association of Sarawak (SRAS) president Robert Lau Hui Yew said the championship was aimed at tapping potential players for Sarawak in the forthcoming national championship.

The first leg of the circuit was held in Miri from June 20-22 while the final leg will be held in Kuching from Sept 12-14.

Lau added that the CMS Sarawak Circuit was aimed at new players and those who could not make it to the CIMB National Circuit.

His association will be using the circuit to search and recruit new talents.

“These new talents will be groomed to take part in the next CIMB National Circuit,” he added.

“Our focus is on the 2016 Sukma when Sarawak plays host and, hopefully, by then, we will be able to produce a stable of players.”

The Sibu leg will feature 10 categories, including the Boy’s and Girl’s U-9 and U-11, Boy’s U-13 Group A and Group B, Boy’s U-15, Boy’s U-19, Girls U-17 and Men’s Open.
