Several of our members have gone to the “dark side” and combined their squash with UK Racketball tournaments. I am pleased to report notable success in the inaugural European Racketball Championships.

Success at The World Masters 

The two standout performances came from Anne Manley and Mark Woodliffe. Anne wrapped up a record 7th World title in the O80’s. Mark Woodliffe then confounded his 5-8 seeding by defeating the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seeds, with a total of 14 World titles between them, to win a brilliant O65’s event.

Barry Featherstone reached the semi-final of the O75’s but lost the bronze medal match. Karen Hume, Sarah Parr, Robert Smith, Steve McLoughlin and Ian Graham all reached the quarter-finals of their events. In the O70’s, Joe McAuley lost in the 3rd round, and Ripley Oyler won the plate event.

It was a great week of squash played in a very friendly spirit, and there were a lot of very good players on show.
