LILLE, France, Oct 27: Kuwait’s Adnan Al-Shammari captured the Under-13 title at the French International Squash Championship, which concluded in Lille on Sunday, adding another international achievement to Kuwait’s growing list of squash successes.

Al-Shammari secured the crown with a 3-1 victory over Saudi Arabia’s Abdullah Al-Bakhit, the tournament’s top seed, in the final.

Kuwait also celebrated another podium finish as Mohammed Al-Awadhi claimed third place.

Saqr Al-Kandari narrowly missed out on another medal after losing the third-place playoff to finish fourth, while Salman Al-Saleh’s campaign ended prematurely due to an injury sustained in the quarterfinals.

The Kuwaiti delegation was led by national teams director Abdullah Al-Subaie and included technical director Shireen Adel and coach Ahmed Abdel-Aal.
