Last Saturday 1st February, Leicestershire Senior Men's Team (featuring club members Ali Mutch and James Bowden) took on the best from Derbyshire and Notts, with plenty of local supporters cheering them on. Ali won both of his matches with his usual prowess, and Jamsie came up just short against Welsh squash prodigy Rhys Evans who previously made an impact as a semi-finalist at the 2024 PSA Hinckley Challenger.

A special ‘thank you’ goes to Ali Nicholas, Terrie Godden and all of their team for looking after the bar and bacon sarnies that fuelled the event.

Also in action on the 1st February was Leicesterahire's Ladies Inter-County team, playing away in Essex. Leicestershire’s squad included not one but two HSRC members amongst their ranks… fourth team dynamo Georgia Mutch, and member of the Brown squash dynasty, Cath Brown.

Our team beat Norfolk 4-1 in the morning session of fixtures with Georgia and Cath both winning their games, with a tougher opponent in the Essex team following that afternoon. After a 3-2 win there with Georgia triumphing and Cath just coming up short against strong opposition, this was an overall excellent result for the county and our club too!

Taking place on the afternoon of the 18th January 2025, organiser Tim Parratt assembled the very best of the best to take part in several rounds of Monrad competition with traditional wooden weapons.

We've got a lot going on this year as we celebrate our 10th year at Maple Drive and our 90th year as a club. More details will follow in due course, but for now just save the dates!
