We know that playing squash is fun, but have a thought about those playing squash DOUBLES this past weekend at Crookwell Squash Centre? This means that there are four players on the court instead of two! These were from the higher grades to the lower ones and ages from nearly 70 years down to 10 years old.

This year the centre hosted the Crookwell Xmas Doubles Squash Tournament for the 12th year.
It was the biggest doubles tournament ever held in Crookwell, with 56 teams from 70 players, who participated in Men’s, Ladies and Mixed events.
As well as our locals from Crookwell and Goulburn, there were over 60 players from Canberra, Parkes, Grenfell, Central Coast, Queensland and Sydney areas; all here for a physical weekend with lots of FUN.
The Squash Centre was transformed into ‘tent city’ which only added to the atmosphere.
Other players stayed at local accommodation to which they return year after year.
As Christmas is so close, this Tournament is always a special one where players get into the spirit by playing in fancy dress.
The special prize went to ‘Hot to Trot’ Karreen Watt and Sue Parker (Canberra) followed closely by ‘sMASHd’ – Peter Montgomery and Gail Ryan (Crookwell and Sydney).
Everyone enjoyed a ‘big barbecue’ on Saturday night with exciting matches continuing on Sunday. Players battled through the heat with matches culminating in Finals on Sunday.
The Men’s open winners were ‘MARINES’ – Craig Brann (Central Coast) and Troy Northy (Bega). The Ladies Open winners were ‘C1 C2’ – Tracey Taylor and Debbie Clarke (Grenfell). The Mixed Open winners were ‘Dark Horses’ Craig Brann (Central Coast) and Paula Smith(Sydney)
Matthew and Karen would like to thank all the players and spectators for their support. And another thank you to local Hotel, Motels and Bed and Breakfasts, local cafes and the Crookwell people in general for making our guests feel very welcome.
