Wizards Led By Egyptian Ace Marwan Against RAC

Egyptian squash ace Marwan Elshorbagy will lead Welsh Wizards into their Premier Squash League crunch clash with Tradition@RAC next Tuesday.

Tradition stand top of the Southern Division, two points ahead of Wizards, and travel to play the newly-formed Welsh team at Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff.

That is an intriguing test for the Wizards man who signed for the Welsh club at the start of this season, but missed club matches and tournaments due to personal reasons which meant he had to go home to Cairo

Now he’s back and at peak fitness to make a major impact over the rest of this season.

Wizards have made a powerful start to their PSL season led by Welsh number one and World number 12 Tesni Evans.

Edmon Lopez, Welshman Elliott Morris Devred and Cardiff Met University student Grace Gear will also play for Wizards against Tradition, while manager David Evans still has to name one more player.
