Former local Cameron White won the men’s Australian Open racquetball championship in Albury last weekend for the 22nd time.
In the final, which featured many long rallies, Cameron defeated Sam Ejtemai from Melbourne, 21-5, 21-7.
Cameron, 48, who has legend status in squash and racquetball, still remains undefeated in racquetball – a remarkable achievement.
It was a family affair at the championships with Cameron’s son, Archer (14), coming runner-up in the “D” grade competition.
