Great Turnout for Junior Squash Grand Prix in Chippenham

Juniors from across Wiltshire and Avon headed to Chippenham at the weekend for the eagerly awaited Grand Prix squash tournament. With a field of 30 players from across the region, and various playing abilities from beginners to advanced, it promised to be a great day for junior squash!

Joseph Fry (Salisbury) won the Grade 1 beginners category, narrowly beating local boy Harry Britten in a tight final. Swindon twins Edward and Oliver Taylor thrashed it out in a close Grade 2 final with Edward finally conquering his brother to win 11-9 11-8.

In the Grade 3 category (intermediate), Marlborough’s Thomas Hole took the winner’s trophy with a decisive win over Alexander Fordham from Salisbury. In the final match of the day, the Grade 4 crown was taken by Lewis Davies, also from Marlborough, who secured an impressive 11-9 13-11 victory, overcoming a strong threat in the shape of Bristol’s Mackenzie Dutton.

Huge well done to all the children that took part and enjoyed a really fun day of junior squash.

We’ve gained more players than we’ve lost this month 

Vincent Hodges and Steve Beckford have won the free courts this month after being picked from a large list of players to play all their games last month. Please ask at the reception for your vouchers.

Welcome to the new and returning players this month!

Congratulations to Adam Slater who won all his games in box 1 and therefore came top of the tree!

We’ve had lots of new and returning players join again for September so I’m afraid some of you won’t have ended up where you expected. We now have an additional league though, which is fantastic!

Dave Boyne and Sebastian Ingham have won the free courts this month after being drawn from a long list of players who played all their games last month. Please ask at the Olympiad reception for your vouchers.

Sebastian Ingham and Neil Richardson have won the free courts after being picked from a list of players who played all their games last month. Please ask at the Olympiad reception for your vouchers.

There were lots of games played in most boxes last month which is great! We’ve had a number of people re-join again this month so I’ve increased the top 3 boxes to 6 players so as to minimise disruption to promotions.

Adam Slater and Lisa Kellet have won the free courts this month as they were picked from a list of players to play all their games last month. Please ask at the Olympiad reception for your vouchers.

Both Chippenham squash teams had a great start to the new winter season. The second team beat Swindon Oasis 4-1 and the first team thrashed Melksham 5-0, with five games scored 9-0 in favour of us!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Olympiad are carrying out further minor refurbishments to all three squash courts on the 9th July. They’ll be closed all day.

Andy

Hi everyone,

I have some great news! The Olympiad have implemented an online booking system so courts can be booked without having to ring the centre!

Click here to book online

If you’re an existing member, you’ll need to go through the registration process in order to get the courts at the discounted rate.

I’ve given the system a quick test and it seems to work very well.

I’ve added a link to the booking page to the Chippenham Squash website.

Regards,

Andy F
