DSC Squash League beginning Monday 11th May 2026
Dear Squash Member,
In the internal squash league that has just finished the top man was Luc Elsby with 29 points in the Premier Box, followed by Edward Eaton Hart with 18.
The top lady was Maya Goel in box 10 but we should also recognise Sarah Feehan in box 26 who had four excellent wins and came top of her box.
Congratulations!
If you are a participant please note that a new squash league is now on the online booking website.
After withdrawals, by the end of the league there were 192 players in the boxes. More members have joined the club, some of whom have been keen to join the league. Others have withdrawn through injury or time pressures. This has resulted in 19 players joining the league, compensated for by 9 dropping out. There were also 10members who played no matches and didn’t communicate a desire to stay in and so have been left out this time.The new league therefore has a total of 192 participants spread over 32 boxes of 6 players.
The next league will last 7 weeks until Sunday 28th June 2026. Please try to get your matches played in good time so that we can avoid the usual frantic rush in the last week of the league.
Although net numbers have not changed, this has again been a complicated exercise with people coming in mostlyconcentrated towards the higher boxes. This has had the effect of depressing the lower boxes so that promotions there have been smaller and demotions more severe!
As ever, please respond promptly to any email from an opponent trying to arrange a game. As a help to organising your games, thanks go to Steven Pavett who has set up a WhatsApp thingy. The following link should allow you to find a WhatsApp Group for whichever box you are in:-

Please leave and join groups as needed at the start of each league. Any problems Steven is your man, steven.pavett@gmail.com.
As you should know by now, the league is only online. I will eventually put a summary up at the club but all results must be added to the online league. The points system for results is detailed there.
All contact details can be found on the online booking site. Click on a name and then the email address and a blank email is opened for you to arrange games. Remember to put in your opponent's name when you book a court and they will get a reminder on the day, both to turn up and to pay you towards the court fee.
Please note that all participants in the Squash League are required to make both their email and mobile phone number available to other members on the online booking site. Please don't opt out of emails!
The default scoring system going forward will be PAR (point a rally) to 11 with 2 clear points needed to win after 10-10 deuce. This is so that more matches can be played to completion rather than running out of time; having to re-play matches would only increase the pressure on court bookings.
By mutual agreement, players can still opt to play HiHo (hand-in, hand-out) to 9 with the player who lost game point opting for first to either 9 or 10 at 8-8 deuce. However, we are trying to encourage the move to PAR as it is the system juniors are familiar with as more young players enter the game.
Good luck to you all!
My reward for completing this exercise is a few days away in Yorkshire watching gannets and, hopefully, puffins. We are staying at a Marston’s Travellodge-alike so a few pints of Pedigree will be going down!
Kind regards,
John
