CLOSE SHOT: Berkhamsted club misses out on title as squash players impress at national level

 Published on: 27th March 2025   |   By: Nik Allen   |   Category: Uncategorized

Berkhamsted Lawn Tennis & Squash Rackets Club (BLTSRC) narrowly missed out on securing the regional title of the National Tennis League.

BLTSRC travelled to Queen’s Club for a title decider at the end of February, and lost by three matches to one.

In a post on Facebook, BLTSRC said: “It was great to see so many of our members come down to support our team and watch some great matches.”

However, the opportunity for both success and excitement is far from over for BLTSRC, who could still win the playoffs for a chance to go to the National Finals at St George’s Hill in May.

The team will head to Loughborough on Sunday, March 30, in an effort to secure their spot in the finals.

It was an exciting month for the club, who welcomed Adam Suggett as the new chair of tennis.

On the weekend of Saturday, February 8, BLTSRC’s young squash players enjoyed great success across various national events.

Christian Law won his national event at England under 9s level, Yara Lo finished 5th in the England girls under 11s, and George Ogden came 10th in the England under 13s despite only being 11.

For the adults, Ali Coker was a semi-finalist in the British over 45s, and Darren Withey was a semi-finalist in the over 60s.

The club said in its newsletter that the successes were proof that “squash can be a sport for life”.
