2023 - 2024 Season

Our thanks to Dave ...

At the end of a season with some high class squash and endevour, the Club wishes to acknowledge and thank Dave Cadwallader for his generous sponsorship of our First Team in 2023-24.

Grass roots sport is greatly helped by such support and Dave's contribution to the Club has enabled us to maintain our Team at the highest level ... thank you.

A week of mixed emotions !

A superb 5-0 win against Bowden 1 (see report below) was the highlight from our final week in the 2023-24 Season.

Following that elation, we soon discovered it was not quite enough to secure the Club's position at the elite level of North West Counties.

There was disappointment on 28 March as the Second Team were beaten 3-2 by Heswall 1 which meant that the Team were relegated.

The only bright spot in the week was from our Third Team who completed their season in fifth place, in Division 3 South West.

Whether or not our First Team will be offered the opportunity to remain in Division 1 is still awaited, however, there will be many considerations for the Club to ponder if and when that may occur !

Our thanks to all of the playters and markers for their time and effort throughout the Season and a very special and huge thank you to our First Team sponsor this year - Dave Cadwallader.

Fantastic win in the final match

Our First Team had another superb win in the final match of the 2023-24 Season, at home to Bowden 1 on 26 March.

A stunning 3-0 win at five by John Ashton started us off well and it just kept coming with victories from Will Silvester (at 4), Rhys Evans (at 2) and our Number 1, Owain Taylor.

In the last match of the evening, we had a very gutsy five set game involving Josh Davies (at 4); he gave it everything and took it all the way with a 14-11 victory to make it a 5-0 match to our First Team.

Despite this superb showing, there is uncertainty as to whether we have retained our First Division status - we await a decision from NWCSL.

The Club wishes to thank all of the players, throughout the season, on their outstanding contribution to the high quality of squash both home and away.

One match to go for Firsts

Following a superb 3-2 away win at The Northern Club [Manchester] on 19 March, there's just one match remaining this season.

Our final match is at the Club, on 26 March, when our visitors will be Bowden; it's another must-win match in what's been a tough season, the result could decide whether we stay in Division 1.

This is squash of the very highest standard, right here at Brymbo.

Another tough night at the Club !

We hosted Grove Park in Division One on 27 February - a must-win match in many ways !

Young Rhys Evans stepped up to the No1 spot as Owain Taylor was unavailable; Rhys faced his Welsh Team mate and training partner, Emyr Evans - but it was a solid performance from Emyr who came through 3-0.

Our Man of the Match this evening was Jon Davies playing at No 4; he came through a five set match to win - match score 1-4 to Grove Park.

Great night at the Club !

On 6th February, the Club was packed with a gallery enthralled at the very highest level of squash being played with our guests, a very strong Warrington Firsts.

It was a first home match for Tesni Murphy who battled hard at third seed but to go down 3-1.

Man of the Match was Josh Davies playing at No 4. Josh played superbly to take his match into a fifth set with Ollie Hudson, and going on to win.

The two top matches featured, at 1, Wales Team mates Owain Taylor (WR 104) against Joel Makin (WR 9) and, at 2, Rhys Evans (WR 218) v. Jonah Bryant (WR 140) - both tremendous matches, they went to form at 3-0.

Steve Jenks played at No 5, he had a tough time against another strong Warrington opponent, going down 3-0.
An excellent night at the Squash Club.

Interested in playing Inter Counties ?

The Club has heard from Greg Tippings, Welsh National Performance Coach at Squash Wales, who is looking at the feasibility of entering senior teams representing Wales into next year's Inter County Championships.

Stage 1 will be held over the weekend of 24 & 25th February 2024.

This is an open invitation for all senior, as well as junior transitional players, in Wales.

If any member is interested in being considered for selection, please indicate this to Mark Davies.

Tesni joins the First Team for second half of Season

Some brilliant news over the New Year as we welcome back to the Club, Tesni Murphy (nee Evans).

Recently married, Tesni has a current World Ranking at 25 (highest WR is 9) and she will be a valuable addition to our First Team; Tesni plays her first match for the Club on 9th January, against Alderley Edge 1 (Away).

First Team come close and they're on TV

The First Team came came really close to winning this Division 1 match at Grove Park (Cheadle Hulme) on 14 November, with matches of the top three seeds being streamed live on YouTube.

First up was Josh Davies - having gone 2-0 down, Josh put in a "man of the match" performance to level it; in a gutsy fianal game, he just missed out 8-11 to an experienced but tired looking Ky Hibberd. On the other court, Steve Jenks was to win his match following injury to his opponent and Will Silvester played well but lost out 3-0.

Back on the show court, Owain Taylor started well against debutant New Zealander, Temwa Chileshe; he went 1-0 up but was later troubled with a stress injury of the foot.
The final match featured Rhys Evans, playing the experienced Luke McFarland at No.2 - the constant pace, determination and fitness shown by Rhys won the day 3-1.
Overall, the match was won 3-2 by Grove Park, but valuable points were gained for our Team on another evening of superb squash from the Wrexham boys.

Heavy loss against Warrington 1

Our First Team came up against the mighty Warrington 1 on 31 October, with Adrian Waller
(WR 29) playing at No 1 and the new British Junior Champion, Jonah Bryant at No 2.

Our No1, Owain Taylor took a game off Waller but that was the only point we achieved in a tough match.
The two youngsters, Rhys and Jonah, had an incredibly close and entertaining match, but Rhys eventually lost out 3-0.

Another superb home win

Well done to a slightly depleted First Team (missing our No.1 Owain Taylor - who's playing in the USA) as they beat Northern Seconds by 3 games to 2 on 17 October

Playing in front of Team Sponsor, Dave Cadwallader, with young Rhys moving up to No 1, the Team played well against a decent Manchester side.

Man of the Match this week had to be shared between our two youngest players - Rhys Evans and Josh Davies, for their great skill and determination.

A great night, despite the loss !

The First Team travelled to north Manchester on 3 October, to play the NWCSL Champions from last season, Cheetham Hill.

With a number of supporters from Wrexham and sporting their new team shirts, courtesy of Dave Cadwallader, the Team did well against a strong and talented opposition - all of the matches, bar one, were lost 3-0 but the scores did not reflect the superb effort from all of our boys.

Man of the Match was our rising star, Rhys Evans, who almost provided a big upset on the night by taking three times World Champion, Nick Matthew to a fifth game.

Congratulations to all players on a super evening.

Big week in the history of our Club

Great start to a second Season in Top Flight

A second season in Division 1 of NWCSL began with a superb win against Alderley Edge 1 on 26 September.

There were some outstanding and very close games, with brilliant wins from Owain Taylor [1] Rhys Evans [2], Jon Davies [4] and Will Silvester [5]; at [3] Josh Davies narrowly lost a tight match, 2-3.

Player of the Match was Will; a real gutsy performance as part of an excellent evening and a great start to the new season.

2022 - 2023 Season

What a finish from our First Team

In our final match of the 2022-23 Season, the First Team emphatically beat Bollington 1 (5-0) to retain their NWCSL Division One status.

It was a brilliant end of season match at the Club on 28 March - congratulations to Owain Taylor, Rhys Evans, Josh Davies, Tim Arthur and Ryan Lewis who all played superbly.

Congratulations to Tattenhall - with help and guidance from Dave Whitehead, the Tattenhall Club put out a team of juniors this season, in the NWCSL Division 4.

This Team included two of our Wrexham Brymbo juniors, Tom & Ethan Willis - they were "On Loan" to Tattenhall for the invaluable experience that they would gain playing in this League. The Team performed well and went on to become NWCSL Team of the Season; they all received their awards at the Machester Open event on 18 May.

Hannah's back on it. - just over two months after giving birth to Harper, Hannah Davies turned out for our Third Team v. Neston and narrowly lost her match, 2-3. What a tremendous achievement.

An example of team work ! - the team work continued following the First Team match v. Bowdon on 28 February, but what would their parents say if they saw this ....<

A free week mixup at the Club - it was a free week for some NWCSL teams on 26 January and so a few players arranged a mixup to play singles and doubles matches, together with an invited guest - Tesni Evans; it was a superb evening of high class competition and fitness.

NORTH WEST COUNTIES & NORTH WALES LEAGUES START AGAIN IN JANUARY - the Spring half of the Season started on 10 and 16 January respectively. Important for our NWCSL First Team in particular, will be the big push to retain our First Division status.

All Welsh Team - on 17 January our First Team beat Alderley Edge 1 at Home, 4-1.

In what's thought to be a first for the Squash Club, certainly in Division 1, we fielded an all Welsh Team - Owain Taylor, Rhys Evans, Josh Davies, Ryan Lewis and Dan Lewis.

Friendly V. Neston. - as a warm-up to the second half of the season, we took a mix from all of our NWCSL Teams to Neston on 5 January; a great night of squash and our lads just edged the match !

Mid Season Review

It's been a superb first half, with thanks to The Educate Group for their sponsorship, to all of our players who have fought so hard, and also to those members who came along to support the Teams.

Below are the Team's standings at December:

It was a great night, despite the result ! - Our First Team hosted top of the table Warrington 1 on 22 November, with a packed gallery and some top, top squash.

We lost a hard fought match 5-0 but, possibly hero of the night was WBSC Number 1, Rhys Evans.

In an amazing match of high quality and superb fitness, Rhys took his match with Adrian Waller (Highest World Ranking 17) to four games.
Thanks to everyone who came along to support the Team.

Rhys steps up. - for our First Team match v. The Northern Club 1 on 18 October, Rhys Evans moves up to the top spot, in place of our Number 1 player, Owain Taylor who is in Australia taking part in the Jansher Khan Canberra Open; it's part of the PSA Challenger Tour.

We wish him well ... - the Third Team had a convincing 5-0 win against Winsford 1 at the Club on 13 October, but best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Winsford player Andrew Morley who fell during his match with Alasdair Blundell to dislocate a shoulder.

STRONG START FOR THIRDS - played two, won two, is the excellent start to the new Season for our Third Team in Division 3 SW, led by our young Team Captain, Jamie Silvester.

4 October - our first win - Congratulations to all of our First Team players as they beat Alderley Edge 3-2 this evening.

It was our first ever Division 1 win and the match results show just what a fantastic team performance it was. With brilliant wins from Owain Taylor (3-0), Josh Davies (3-0) and Tim Arthur (3-0) but superb effort in the other matches, Ryan Lewis (2-3) and Steve Jenks (2-3). Well done Team, an excellent evening.

A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS - our first ever match in the highest League, Division 1 of NWCSL, took place at home to Wigan Sports 1 on 27 September with a packed gallery cheering on our First Team players.

With brilliant wins from Tim Arthur (3-0) and Rhys Evans (3-0), the match stood at 2-2; young Josh Davies (passed his driving test that morning) went all the way with Wigan's experienced, Ryan Atherton, who eventually came through 11-6 (2-3) and win the match for Wigan.
