Squash Championship Results!

 A Spectacular End to the Club Championships!

After three weeks of intense competition, our Club Championships Finals Evening brought the event to an exciting close on Saturday, March 22nd. With an impressive 53 entries—a significant increase from last year—the tournament showcased an incredible mix of talent, from complete beginners to seasoned players. The youngest competitor, 8-year-old Charlotte Gale, put in a fantastic performance, reaching the Ladies' Open Semi-Finals, while our most senior competitor (who shall remain unnamed!) was believed to be nine times her age!
