Sunday 3rd Dec had nearly 40 squash players across Essex, Suffolk and as far a Surrey head to Colchester’s Lexden Rackets and Fitness Club to play in the Graded Tournament. This was a chance for players of all ages and abilities to play others based on ability, which made for some great games and a few seeding upsets.

It was a great opportunity for players such as local lad William Rogers to take part in his first ever squash tournament, as well as more seasoned players having a chance to play some of the up and coming youth.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generous sponsorship from local builders, Wright Ruffell Strurricks, which is very much appreciated by all those who played and enjoyed the day.
