We are looking for up to 32 players across all standards to participate in this event. The event is free and no membership of the University Sports Centre is required.

As usual there will be some prizes for the winning players/teams.

This will be followed by drinks/pizzas at Churchill College, and then for the hardcore into town for some later night beverages.

This is open players of all standards so please feel free to spread the word to anyone wishing to participate!

Handicap competition 

Dear Players,

On Saturday 25th March Cambridge Squash Club will be hosting a handicap competition at the University Sports Centre from 14:00-17:00.

This will be a tournament format where every player starts with a set point advantage or disadvantage so anyone can win this competition.

Hence we are looking for between 16-32+ players to play and everyone will be guaranteed at least 3 matches.

Ideally we will have 2 handicap competitions depending on the number of entrants:-

• Handicap A (for Uni leagues 1-9, Swavesey leagues 1-6 )
  Handicap B (for Uni leagues 10-17, Swavesey leagues 7-15)

That’s about it, this is a fun event open to all players of all standards with handicaps given to ensure that everyone gets great competitive games with players you may not get the opportunity to play against. Obviously prizes for the winners/runners up etc.

Please confirm your attendance asap to (alistair_dawson@hotmail.com) if you can make it so we can get it organised accordingly.

Lets keep the CSC vibe going – don’t miss out!
