Former world champion Peter Nicol provided a day to remember for a packed-out gallery at The Mote Squash Club in Maidstone.

Nicol held a coaching clinic for the club's juniors and then passed on some valuable tips to the club's senior team players.

Nicol and fellow professional Tim Garner delighted the audience with a stunning array of shots as they staged a hugely entertaining exhibition match, which Nicol won 3-1.

Earlier, the two pros had teamed up to beat The Mote doubles pair of club champion Paul Adam and Alan Thatcher, the Kent SRA chairman and Sky TV squash commentator.

After the action on court, Nicol and Garner held a question and answer forum.

Mote chairman Dave Verga said: "It was a real honour to have two such brilliant professionals at the club.

"Everyone was amazed at how much time Peter and Tim spent on court giving free advice to club members and it was a wonderful experience for the juniors.

"Squash is thriving at The Mote and we look forward to holding similar events in the near future."
