From the start of 2008 the women and men squash clubs were amalgamated into one Sydney University Squash Club. It was a great move to the club and will be an opportunity to attract more players and more teams.

As in previous years, the Club fielded teams in the South-Eastern Pennant Competition, participating in all three seasonal pennants:-

       Summer    (January and February)

       Autumn    (March - June)

       Spring    (August - November)

The Summer Competition is a graded handicap competition, and is used by most players as a vehicle for maintaining some level of fitness over the Christmas and New Year break. This past year we fielded 5 teams, which is increase on other years, so this format is proving to be popular amongst members.

The Autumn and Spring Pennants are the main competitions of the year with teams competing in grades from State level to Division 14. The Club fielded 11 teams in the Autumn Pennant and 12 in the Spring Pennant. The Club has the capacity to field 20 teams in each Pennant, so there are plenty of vacancies for anyone wishing to join our ranks.

The Autumn Pennant saw the Club have 8 of the 11 teams reaching the final 3 play-offs, with 7 of these contesting the Grand Final and 2 teams in Div 1 and Div 14 winning the Grand Final.

As usual, the Club Championship was played between the Autumn and Spring Pennants. 25 members competed for this year’s bragging rites, which saw Murray Gibbons from the Div 1 team defeating Arno Becker 3-0 in the final.

The Club has the capacity to field 20 teams in each of the Pennant Competitions. At the moment we have 12, so any new members are welcome.

We cater for all levels of play, from anyone wishing to be introduced to the game at the grassroots level, to those who are contemplating a return to the sport after a spell, or those wishing to join our Club from another, are all welcome.
