2025 - 2026 Season

Teams meeting on 30 June

A Team's meeting was called to consider the Club's approach to the 2025-26 Season, in particular how we may respond to the self-imposed relegation of our First Team from the top flight of North West squash (see below).

In the current situation, members felt we could only sustain two teams in NWCSL, one in Division 2 and one in Division 3 and agreed to contact the League on that basis.

For the new Season, two Captains were confirmed as - First Team: Rob Evans and Second Team: Richard Ackerley.

Regarding us starting up a Club' Racketball Team, this was not considered to be viable at this time.

The meeting received news of Dhenis Stafford's passing and paid tribute to Dhenis as a member of the Club's Teams.

2024 - 2025 Season

Relegation for our First Team

The 2024-25 Season proved difficult in many ways for our Team in the top flight of North West squash, not least due to the issues faced in trying to maintain an appropriate level of quality First Team play / player, consistent with what is expected for the NWCSL First Division.

It became a difficult situation to manage due to other regular tournament commitments for those top players, together with the inevitable injuries from time to time.

In that context and, having considered all potential options as well as speaking with those key people involved, the difficult view was that the Club should take relegation from NWCSL Division 1 and, we hope from September, have two Teams in Division 2 for the 2025-26 Season. Players and the NWCSL needed to know of this decision as soon as possible and this has been done.

Being part of the NWCSL Division One has been a really great experience for the Squash Club over the last two seasons; we have seen some very high level squash by world class elite players, including the current World Ranked No 4, Joel Makin, it has also put the Squash Club on the map with those top Clubs across the region.

Let's hope that one day soon the Club will be in a position to host top squash again !

Two of our "old boys" meet in New Zealand

It's a small world - two past members of the Club's First Team met at the New Zealand National Squash Championships in Christchurch in early March.

George Thomas, who works as a Coach in the South Island came across our past Club Champion, Tim Arthur - amazing!

Huge thanks to our Sponsor

We wish to give thanks to our generous sponsor of both this season and last season, Dave Cadwallader.

The level of support required to maintain a Team, at this level in the "Premier Division" of the North West Counties Squash Leagues is daunting, particularly for a small Club like ours outside of the main conurbations. Such support from Dave is huge and helps bring some world class players into Wrexham.

Re-arranged match with Bowdon

The re-arranged match with a strong Bowdon Team took place at the Club on 4 February, when we lost the match 4-1.

Members witnessed an outstanding match at No.2 with Stan Sykes beating Charles Keeble in five sets - it was a genuine Man of the Match performance for the ever-improving Stan.
We also said thank you and farewell to George Thomas; George has played for the Club while visiting home over the new year - he flew back to New Zealand the following day.
We also wish Josh Davies well as he had to retire injured in the third set of his match.

Firsts impress at Cheetham Hill

Our away match against mid-table Cheetham Hill on 14 January produced an superb 3-2 result for the Team, with a Man of the Match performance from Josh Davies; having been injured in recent weeks, Josh stormed to a 3-0 win.

Congratulations to other Team members - Owain 3-0, Stan 2-3 (8-11 in 5th), George (3-2) and John (0-3).

Severe weather warnings disrupt Leagues

It was a stuttered start for the NWCSL across the whole region due to the severe weather during the week commencing 6 January.

The League have supported many Team's requests for a postponement of matches because of difficulties for players travel due to snow and icy conditions, particularly around Manchester and along the M56.

Our Second Team's match, away to Tattenhall 1, was also postponed by the Home Team on 9 January.

Safety has to be the most important consideration at this time. For a Club like ours, however, it does then create further difficulties for when matches may be re-arranged, due to the likelyhood some of our First Team players may have other commitments. This, in turn, has consequences for our Second and Third Teams.

Important Second Half of season begins

The second half of our NWCSL 2024-25 Season begins again on 7 January, with with a home match against Bowdon; matches for our our Second and Third Teams commence on 9th January.
Our North East Wales Team play on 6th January.

Come and give support to our Teams.

UPDATE: The match v. Bowdon has, unfortunately, had to be postponed by request from Bowdon; this due to snow and icy conditions around Manchester and along the M56.

First half completed ...

The first half of the 2024-25 Season was completed at the Club on 17 December, with some good news and some bad.

Congratulations to our North East Wales Team on finishing with a win over Midtown to take the League title (see below), a depleted but determined First Team however lost to the NWCSL leaders, Warrington (again, see below).
We start off again in early January with the second half of season when the NE Wales Team are home to Buckley Elfed on 6 January, swiftly followed by a NWCSL First Team home match to Bowdon on 7th.
Come along and support our Teams.

Rearranged match with League leaders

Our much anticipated match with the mighty Warrington was played at the Club on 17 December with some stars of the game in action.

Despite having our own problems through injury and non-availability, we had a compelling, quality match. We saw two current Welsh Champions in Tesni Murphy (World Ranking 21) and Joel Makin (World Ranking 6) plus the ever improving 19 year old, Jonah Bryant (World Ranking 49).

We lost the match 5-0 but there was huge effort from all of our Team - George Thomas was at No.1 against Joel Makin (0-3), Tesni Murphy played Jonah Bryant (0-3), Will Silvester was up against Lewis Doughty (0-3), Rob Evans played Josh Owen (1-3) and John Ashton faced Ollie Hudson (0-3).

This was our final match of the first half of the season; thanks to the Warrington players for the spirit in which this was played.

North East Wales CHAMPIONS

Huge congratulations to all those who've played in our North East Wales Team, as they win the Winter 2024 Season

Our Team completed their Winter season on 17 December with an emphatic 4-1 win over the Midtown Team, to win the League by 10 points - a fantastic result for the Club and everyone involved.

It's tough at the top

We welcomed back George Thomas a friend of the Club on 10 December and straight into the First Team for a crucial match against Alderley Edge.

George is back home in North Wales for Christmas from New Zealand, where he works as a Squash Coach to 14 regional clubs near Christchurch.

Due to injury and others not available, we were struggling for this important match, which we lost out 5-0. Credit to all players for a great match, especially to Stan Sykes and Will Silvester both going close, losing out at 3-2.

Match we all wanted ... postponed

We had to take advice from the NWCSL League Secretary and Warrington SC, but with a Police severe weather warning across the North West, our eagerly awaited home match with top of the table Warrington, was postponed,

The heavy snow, traffic disruption and the threat of icy condition later would affect players who would be travelling from as far as Nottingham and Birmingham. Safety was, therefore, at the heart of this action.

Two top Welsh and World Ranked players were due to play - Tesni Murphy and Joel Makin - we hope they may be available for the re-scheduled match, which could possibly be before Christmas!

UPDATE: the match against Warrington has been re-arranged for Tuesday, 17 December at 7.30.

It's a tight mid-table clash

On 5th November we welcomed our friends from Neston Squash Club, in what proved to be an extremely close encounter, that could have gone either way.

We took an early lead in the match through Josh Davies and Tesni Murphy. Both were convincing 3-0 winners, while Will Silvester lost out 3-1 and Adam El Shazley, playing at No1 with an injury, lost 3-0.

Our Man of the Match had to be Jonathan Davies who got to match ball in the fifth but was just edged out; Neston win the match 3-2.

It was great night of squash and competitive to the end.

Great start to the new season

Our new look First Team started the season with an excellent 3-2 win against Bowden on 24 September.

We welcomed Stan Sykes and Adam El Shazly, playing at No 2 and 3 respectively; their first matches for the Club.

Josh Davies was first up with a superb 3-0 victory at No 5. Our Wrexham supporters then had to move between two courts for some tremendous and gutsy play from our No1 Owain Taylor winning a tough 3-0 on the Glass Back and Tesni Murphy on the other court, who came back from a match ball down to win 3-2.

Our two new team members came up against some in-form players and lost their matches; but there will be more to come from them this season.
