The squash interclub season is upon us, with the Autumn competition starting in late February – not to be confused with KTSC’s own in-house Innerclub competition which will run on Thursdays from 16 February through to 30 March.

Autumn interclub has two competitions: Mens on Tuesday nights beginning 28 February, and Women’s beginning 1 March. Both competitions will be played over 6 weeks with 4 teams per division (i.e. 3 home and away matches).

If you are interested in playing interclub please email KTSC Interclub Convenor Chris Hunt chris.tjen@xtra.co.nz. Entries close Friday 10 February. Interclub caters for all levels of ability, and we’ll do our best to place you in a team with others of a comparable standard. To be eligible, you must be a paid-up KTSC members, and have a Squash NZ grading. If you are interested but don’t have a grading, please let Chris know and he will provide instructions on how to obtain one.

Our Autumn edition of Squash Innerclub starts on Thursday the 16th February and go through until Thursday 30th March. There will not be a game on Thursday 9 March as we will be hosting the first round of the Masters tournaments.

This is a social squash event that runs for 6 weeks on Thursday nights. You enter as an individual player, but we arrange everyone into teams – and each week you get to play someone of a similar level from another team. All games are held at the Khandallah courts, as this is an in-house competition.

This is a fun event, and is a great way to meet other players and get some regular games. We also open this up to non-members too, so if you have friends who would like to give squash a go for a few weeks then encourage them to enter too.

Entry fee is $10 for members and $30 for non-members.  Each week there’s a light supper and quiz. The final will be on Thursday 30th March. 

If you have any questions about Innerclub please email Jason at: alyhan@hotmail.co.nz
