2009 - 2010 Season

First Half Report

North Wales League
Our First Team have had an excellent half reaching second place in Division 1 behind Prestatyn's Saints B.
This is a fine achievement considering the strength of the other teams in the Division and, hopefully, their good form will continue into 2010.
The addition of Neil Rawlings and Rob Evans, back from university, have boosted the stalwarts Darren Lee and Mark Davies & John Williams, who are all having a successful season. With young Hannah Davies playing as well, it does also help bring their average age down !

The Second Team has not been as successful - having started the season badly as a Team based at Buckley, who were about to give up in Division 2 before transferring to Wrexham Brymbo, where we had capacity of players who wanted to play team squash.
Unfortunately, due to their poor start, the team were initially relegated to Division 3 by one point. However, there was some Christmas cheer - because an extra team joined the League it meant that the Second Team were given a reprieve. We hope they will make the most of this and now go to strength in Division 2.

Our Junior Team in Division 3, again superbly managed by Paul Gowing, have had a steady season with at least 3 or 4 juniors playing in each match - gaining some great results and invaluable experience. Hopefully this will continue in the 2nd half.
The following juniors have all played – Perry Shoemark, Alice Jones, Joseph Newnes, Jack Gowing, Aled Goddard, Emily Jones and Richard Ackerley, who has played particularly well at No 1.

North West Counties League
The Thursday Team, which occasionally included Hannah Davies, have had an excellent first half of season losing only one match and topping Division 4 - they are extremely well placed to win this League, barring any major mishaps. The first half concluded with a great 5 – 0 win against Chester's LA Fitness, who had been the top team.

North West Counties Ladies Teams have had a mixed season with the Second Team having to drop out of the League due to injuries and lack of players at certain times. Hopefully there may be an opportunity to resurrect a Second Team next season.

The First Team, however, were lying in second place at Christmas to Liverpool Cricket Club but, as we go to press, they are now top of the Division 2 due to a walkover against Liverpool in the first match of the second half.
The Team, led by the evergreens Sian Hughes, Helen Massey, Rachael Cooper (not evergreen!), Margaret Meadowcroft, with contributions from youngsters Llinos Evans and Emily Jones are now looking forward to consolidating their position at the top and promotion. We wish them all the best.

In September 2009, the Club has agreed to help out a struggling team from Buckley to remain in the North Wales Leagues, they have now integrated within the Club playing as Wrexham Brymbo Seconds. We now have a First, Second and Juniors Team - one in each of the three Divisions.

For the Thursday evening Team in the North West Counties Squash League, Rob Evans will take responsibility for all organisation. Fixtures for 2009-10 are attached.

It is with much regret that the Club has had to withdraw our Ladies Second Team from the North West Counties Squash Leagues. This has been due to our inability to field five fit players each week and an acknowledgement that running a Second Team is currently an unsustainable position.

Fixtures for the remaining Ladies Team may be viewed using the following link:

Match fees for the 2009-10 Season are increased to £4.00 per player per match. This is to cover refreshments at £25 per home match plus £15 court fees. The cost of refreshments will need to be paid direct to Mike (Steward in the Sports Club) and court fees can be given to either Kevin Jones (Club Treasurer) or Mark Davies.

North Wales Ladies Squash Challenge

Matches between Saints Club, Prestatyn and Wrexham Brymbo are proving to be both successful and enjoyable for all concerned.

The Ladies competed over a series of four matches between Wrexham Brymbo & Saints with our Prestatyn friends winning in the very last point of the very last match - with Emily Strickland beating Margaret Meadowcroft 15-14 in the 5th game - to take the series. We hope this will continue as an annual event with mant more players competing.

Team News

At the mid point of the season, congratulations to the Ladies 1st team, who are now joint top of NWCSL Division 2a - the 2nd team are in the same Division and also doing well.
It is great to see the blend of youth and experience in both teams, in particular how a number of our juniors are providing a real contribution to each side. Our juniors have all come through the Club's Junior Coaching Programme - these are Llinos Evans, Emily Jones & Alice Jones.

The mens team in the North West Counties Squash League are struggling at present, as injuries have taken their toll. It will require a huge effort over the next couple of months to avoid relegation.

Congratulations ... Sian

Wrexham Brymbo Squash Club member and Ladies Team Captain was runner-up in the Over 50 Women's Section of the 2008 Welsh Masters Closed Squash Tournament held at the Swansea Tennis & Squash Club. This was a great personal result for Sian which meant an automatic selection into the Welsh Team for the Home Internationals.
