Evening all squash club members,
After tonight’s squash club AGM, it was agreed to send a regular club newsletter by email. Therefore, please find the first of these below, including Brian Matson’s note about the winter league competition.
Hi All Winter League competitors!
The league is due to start 20th November. The timetable is a little different this year as we have to accommodate the Yorkshire League and the Hull and District fixtures, but we can fit it in – just read the fixtures carefully please!
There may still be one or two games that have to be rearranged but we will let individual teams know this in advance. Please also note Team C (Cupid) has a free slot at number 2 as we have had a late injury notice. If anyone would like to take up that position, please let me know as soon as you can.
Thanks and enjoy your squash Brian Matson.
Thanks to grant money obtained by Steve Birss during covid and subsequent pick up of playing activities, the club is in good financial shape and has reserves to counter any short-term issues.
Thank you to everyone who has paid this year’s subs.
Col Brooks and Rich McAlpin did an excellent job putting together this year’s knockout squash competition, which had a high level of interest and enabled regular members to play against some of the best players in the club.
Yusef Forster prevailed in a tightly fought final against Mike Reid. Knocker was the match referee and it generated plenty of spectators.
Ferriby’s Yorkshire League premier team have had some tremendous matches in the first few games of the season.
Last week saw ex world No.9 Dayl; Selby playing for Woodfield against Ferriby’s Ben Socket. Yorkshire League has been well supported by sponsors and spectators and is drawing in a crowd from other clubs, which should hopefully bring new members.
Aside from the premier league team, Ferriby also has a team in Div2 South East of Yorkshire league.
Fixtures and results for both teams can be found at Yorkshire Squash website.
Please put your name down for either the squash or racketball mini leagues. These are a great way of playing new people.
There are plans bubbling away for various social activities which will be outlined in the next newsletter. Please let us have any feedback about the club, ideas always well received!
All the best The Club Committee.
