News and events
39 years of squash league organisation at DSC!
Since 1986, Graham Ashton (our former Club President) has single-handedly organised our leagues tables. I am pleased to announce that after his 300th league he is passing the baton!
With 200 participants, spread over 30 boxes, it is clear the leagues have been the bedrock of our club. We are immensely grateful for his dedication and insightful leadership (or... "don't argue with me" approach!).
He will be handing over league organiser duties to John Gillman. John will be in charge of the next league in November. Thank you, Graham and welcome, John!
