Huge congtratulations to a former Club member, Neil Davies, who on 22 February became 2026 British Over 55s 400m Champion, winning it in a time of 58.76 seconds.

North Wales Open 2026

In the Main Final at Bangor on 22nd February, two of our Club members featured in the podium places:
Josh Davies was in the Final match, but lost out 1-3 to Champion, George Thomas.
In third position was Jamie Silvester.

Gentle reminder

To help us maintain the courts to their best playing condition, all members and guests are asked to ensure that no outdoor or black souled trainers are used while playing.

Refurbishment update

Much of the work in the Men's toilet area is now completed (11.2.26), with the exception of a decision on the form of heating to be utilised in that area, plus further potential work to ensure the shower area complies with current regulations.

Word, however, is still awaited on the outcome of a grant application, submitted by the Cricket Club to Cricket Wales. If that's successful, it's anticipated that works on the Mens' shower area will be completed, together with alterations affecting the Ladies' areas.
Watch this space !!

Sian is back

In January / February, we've welcomed back one of our former Ladies Team players, Sian Hughes .

Sian played in our North West Counties Team back in 2009-10, but has now returned to play in the Saturday Ladies Sessions - it's great to welcome her back on court.

Two more 2026 Welsh Champions ...

Over the weekend 31st January / 1st February, two of our juniors won at the Welsh Juniors Closed Squash Championships at the National Centre in Cardiff.
It's the culmination of months work and we're very proud of them - see the Juniors Page for details and photos - congratulations both.

Jon is a 2026 Welsh Champion

On 25th January, Jonathan Davies won the Welsh Masters Squash Championships (Over 50s) held at the National Centre in Cardiff.

JD has had a great few months, having taken both the British Closed and Open events in Racketball, and now the Welsh Squash Title - an amazing achievement, congratulations.

2026 - year of the Commonwealth Games

New Year start for our Ladies

Despite the cold and frosty morning, we held our first Ladies Squash session of 2026 on 3rd January, with 6 taking part.

We welcomed Poppy Green, a past junior member - we first met Poppy in 2012 when Club Coaches went to Barkers Lane CP School with our Mini Squash Experience.
As a Junior member, she developed her game, played for the Club in many junior competitions and, in February 2019, working through the Squash Club, Poppy achieved her Squash Wales Level 1 Coaching Award.
We lost touch while off to University, but now we hope she's back playing more regularly.

Refurbishment - not quite ready for Christmas!

Our much awaited work to refurbish the toilet areas of the Club commenced on 8th December.

This will comprise two phases; initial Phase 1 works are to take place in the Mens' area - with a new ceiling, one additional fan, plus upgraded toilet ware and panneling.

All of the costs for this project will be met by an agreed three-way split - between the Squash and Cricket Clubs, together with the Brymbo Sports & Social Complex.

Ladies Squash - a Christmas break

The final Ladies Squash session for 2025 will take place on 20th December 2025. This concludes a good year of friendly competition and we have gained some new players.

We hope that everyone has a peaceful, relaxing break and look forward to starting up again on Saturday, 3rd January 2026.

Two of our former juniors meet up again at University !

It's been good to hear that two of our Juniors met up again in December 2025, both playing squash at The University of Liverpool Squash Club.

Matthew Green (Second Year) and Tom Willis (First Year) last met as part of the Club's Juniors Squad in 2017; they've now arranged to play when they return to Liverpool, following the Christmas break.

No Fast & Furious in 2025 ...

Regretfully, there will be no Fast & Furious Christmas Competition this year.
For many reasons, our members were unable to commit to the date set for this year's event BUT we'll try again in twelve months !

Following in Pete's footsteps ... !

Congratulations once again to Jon Davies taking three trophies at the Cheshire Closed Tournament at The Bowden Squash Club on 19 October.

Taking on three Finals in one day, JD won the Squash O45s and O50s titles, as well as the Cheshire Racketball Championship - some going.

JD is not the first WBSC member to become the Cheshire O50s Mens Champion - it had been won previously by Pete Lee, back in 1996.

JD was presented with The Nick Gatwood Trophy by Marion Gatwood (see below).

A past WBSC member was also in the Finals [Men's B Event] - Alasdair Blundell (now Grove Park) beating Joss Atkinson (Bowdon) 3-1.

2025 British Racketball DOUBLE Champion

Huge congratulations again to Jon Davies, the 2025 Over 50 British Racketball Open Champion.

Playing at the Hallamshire Club, Sheffield over the weekend 3-5 October, Jon beat Chris Morris (Shropshire) by 3-1 in the Final - 11/6, 11/8, 6/11, 11/5.

On the back of his British National title, this was a fantastic result for Jon - he's a British Double Champion.

For the first time in the Club's history, we combined the Championships into Squash and Racketball featuring Juniors, Ladies and Mens events.
