Charlton took part in the Darling Downs Squash Trials on April 2nd. He played six matches in his pool, winning three. While he wasn’t selected to progress to the next stage, the competition was tough, with around 16 players in his age group and only the top four moving forward. Many strong competitors were present, including a few he regularly plays against locally.

As one of the youngest participants, Charlton made a great impression. The selectors were impressed with his performance and encouraged him to return next year.
