What a fantastic day for our first Newbies Tournament of 2026 🙌
It was awesome to see so many players getting out on court, competing hard, and giving tournament squash a go. A big thank you to everyone who entered and helped make the day such a success 💙
As someone playing their very first tournament too, I can confirm the legs were definitely feeling it this morning 😅
Congratulations to all of our placegetters 👏
