Sarah Ainsworth has reached a very high standard at a young age

THE CONNAUGHT TELEGRAPH YOUNG SPORTS STARS OF THE YEAR NO. 19:

 

SARAH Ainsworth produced a terrific performance when she brought home a silver medal from the World Racquetball Championships, which were held in Minneapolis in November.

A member of Castlebar Racquetball Club, Sarah, who was competing in the Under 12 age group, came up against a very strong Costa Rican star, Jimena Gomez, in the final.

To be selected on the Irish team was in itself a major honour but to bring home a silver medal from such a prestigious event was an outstanding achievement by this young star, who seems to have a very promising future given the standard she has already reached at such a young age.
