Awesome effort from everyone who competed across the weekend. Great to see Whanganui so well represented across both the junior and masters grades with some outstanding squash on display.

Today we say a huge thank you to one of our long standing supporters of the club, Adam and Stephanie Durning of The Dentists Whanganui. After years of sponsoring Court 5, we would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank them for their incredible loyalty and support of the Whanganui Squash Club over so many years.

Partnerships like this play a massive part in helping clubs like ours grow and thrive, and we are extremely grateful for everything they have contributed to our squash community.

At the same time, we are excited to officially welcome PKF Doyle & Associates The Accountants Limited to their new spot Court 5. The brand-new signage looks fantastic, and we are incredibly appreciative of their ongoing support of the club.

Thank you again to both our past and present sponsors for backing squash in Whanganui - we truly couldn’t do it without you.
