Welcome to the Wanganui Squash ClubSTIHL SHOP WANGANUI CLUB OF THE YEAR Yes!! We have done it again.If you are a club member then you are a member of the Best Sports Club in Wanganui, congratulations! The Sports Awards was a great night attended by a our President, Paul Kenny and a few of our members who enjoyed themselves tremendouly. I hear they were a bit rowdy and fairly social but we do consider that a good thing when the Club wins an award like this. If you are not a member, then what more do we need to say - this is the best club in town! Business House finished on a high for the year, with a great lot of new people coming down to enjoy the fun of this competition. We has our resident band the Seedy Bros playing once again, and prizes were handed out for the winners of each division, as well as a few spot prizes. Everyone had a great night and there are already some teams gearing up for the next round in February.WANGANUI SQUASH CLUB CHAMPS -This was a huge week for the club, the highlight of our year, finishing on Saturday night with the annual dinner. Huge entries this year with games every night Tuesday to Friday night, plus the World Cup on the TV, and full courts running 9 - 5.30 all day Saturday. There was some very exciting finals, and great support from the spectators which was great to see.WANGANUI B & BELOW sponsored by The Dentists and Doyle & Associates - August 12th -13th.This was a great tournament to follow on from the Superchamps weekend 2 weeks earlier. SUPERCHAMPS 2011 We had Mens's D, E & F Grade & Women's F Grade teams travelling away for the weekend and held the C Grade competition at our Club where we had a team in. The club hosted 11 teams for the weekend and it was full-on with tough squash competition for our boys andvery late nights up at the bar. Unfortunately all teams finished as Runner-up, but the F grade women have been invited to Taumaranui to compete in the National Tema Event, 14th - 18th September. We wish them luck. MOLTEN METALS CENTRAL DOUBLES - 8TH, 9TH July.
The Central Doubles, sponsored by Molten Metals Ltd. was held on 8th, 9th July. Although entries were low the calibre of the games was of a high standard and the spectators had plenty to watch. The winners of the Central Doubles Cup were Ant Rountree and Nick Caton, who beat the combinations of Al Dallas/Mal Peters, John Roestenburg/Paul Glentworth and then Rod Bannister/ Ken Mair in the final. In the 2nd Division Kyall Green and Nigel Ward took out the prize with the Rivercity combination of Matt Ratcliffe/Graham Pope coming in 2nd place. The 3rd Division was a 6 draw round robin, where there were some long battles between friendly rivals with Ian Van Delden and Vance Wilson coming out on top, followed by Darren Kelly and Al Nixon in 2nd place. Thanks to all those who entered and all those that helped out at the Club to make it a great event.
