The Club runs several leagues to give members the opportunity to play a variety of different opponents at every different standard. This page explains all your options.
Friday Night Is Bonkers!
This is a picture of Christopher Neye (affectionately known as Bonkers) who organises this session. The idea behind the Bonkers Night is to give everyone the opportunity to play other members. It is open to all members and non-members during their trial period. This is an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what it is like to take part in organised squash matches with referees. If you would eventually like to play team squash for the club this is a great way to find out what it is like. Chris and Greg Tippings are around to lend a hand with marking and refereeing. Matches are played every Friday between17:00 and 19:15. Each player gets at least two matches per night. Cost £3.00.If you would like more information, please fill in this form or call Chris on (07875) 498496.
Internal Monthly Singles League
The monthly singles league is open to all members who want some slightly more serious competition. On the notice board in the bar you will see this picture on a big whiteboard that shows the current status. There are five players in every league who must play each other in the month. Players are awarded points depending upon the score in each match. At the end of the month, the player who comes first goes up two leagues. Second place goes up one league. Third place stays put. Fourth down one league and fifth down two. To join in, get a whiteboard pen from behind the bar and write your name on the right hand side of the board. You will then be entered in the next month.The league is run by Mark Loder pictured left. If you would like more information, please contact him by filling in this form.

Play For The Club
The Club fields eleven teams in the various South Wales inter-club leagues that are organised by Squash Wales. The year is divided into two seasons with promotion and relegation at the end. Each season the teams in a league play each other twice once at home and once away. The competition and rivalry is fierce but there is a good social side to it two with the teams enjoying a meal and few drinks after the match. More information on the leagues can be found here. More information on the current team selections can be found here. If you are interested in representing the club by playing for a team, please contact Greg Tippings.Summer Teams League
The Summer Teams League consists of various clubs from around South Wales who want to play competitive squash in the off-season but in a more relaxed fun way. Because the league is handicapped, it gives players the opportunity to play against higher ranked players that they wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to compete against.
