Yukon Squash League action continued last week.

The action takes place at Better Bodies courts with seven teams in two divisions challenging each other for local squash supremacy every Tuesday and Thursday evening.

In league play, five to six players per team battle one-on-one with their adversaries on other teams.

Matches are best-of-five games, and players earn team points for games and matches won.

Here are the results:

In Division 1 play Tuesday night:

Yukon Tree Services pruned The Electrical Shop 19-16, with Kevin Smits’ come-from-behind victory over Kamran Idrees being the signature match. Other victors for YTS were Grayson Peters and Jeremy Kovac.

Ecological Logistics & Research dominated Grizzly Electric 22-14, punctuated by a pair of tough victories by Jordan Barker and Nikhil Sharma. Kevin Daffe and Jasper Martin also won for ELR.

Chilkoot Chiropractic & Rehab slipped by Landed Bakehouse 14-13, with Andrew Brown edging Kynan McIntyre in a five-game back and forth match. Coleman Newell provided the other win for Chilkoot.
