Club Champs 2024

Morning All

We are nearly at the end of the 23 Club Champs, following a highly entertaining doubles match last Friday - eventually won by Mark Steeden and Luke Penna with a 3 - 1 margin over Will Brownsden and Harry Mason.

It's now time to turn to the 24 Champs. Once again we are running singles squash, doubles squash and singles racket ball. Entry is via the sheets on the notice board. Please enter in each competition you fancy by 5th April.


Many thanks to Jason for his organisational efforts last year and his continuing commitment this year. We had a number of lively Friday night fixture sessions during 2023 and it would be great to repeat these this year. Please do support your club by entering and playing.
