21.01.2022 An exciting ( and hot! ) night of squash last night to conclude the Summer Classic. In an absolute nail biter, Morgan McGuire defeated Ryan Flint 16-14 in the fifth to take out the Division 1 title. Division 2 also went down to the wire, with Tim Melsom prevailing over Mel Shutt. Other winners on the night included, Charlie Greenwood (Div. 3), Franco DiDomenico (Div. 4) and Sam French (Div. 5). Well done to everybody that played.

Many thanks and much love to all the many people who came through the doors over the years. All is not lost however, with squash, tennis and badminton still going strong across Hobart we will endeavour to offer all the support we can to these great sports. Stay tuned........
