Callum Larkin has been named as Isle of Man Squash Racket Association’s Player of the Month for December with a points increase of more than 14.8 per cent.

Although the season had a break from early December, Larkin played well in both the under-17s tournament and his league matches to increase his ranking points.

Andy McLarney of the Outcasts Dragons was second during the month - he is beginning to consistently achieve a playing level of around 500 as his current level is 520.

He started the season around the 400 mark so his improvement is significant.

The third-placed player is Fraser Dorling who is really playing a lot more squash this season and is up to 963 points.

It won’t be long before he makes it past the 1,000-points barrier if he continues to improve at his current rate.
