England Squash Masters – British Open 2023
3 former Kegworth Squash club players were in the news – culminating in the finals on Sunday 11 June 2023 at the Colets Club in Thames Ditton. Peter Marshall, whose father built the Kegworth Squash again excelled to win the Mens Over 40’s Event – comfortably – despite now being over 50 – Amazing
Simon Spencer another great player from the Kegworth club was seeded 3/4 but unfortunately lost in the quarter finals in the MO55
Webmaster Adrian Wright – did not play in the event due to recent health problems but was given a lifetime achievement award.
The full results and reports are on the EnglandSquashMasters.co.uk website

SBSquash Teams gettogether
It was refreshing to see the Nottinghamshire leagues sides get together for an informal bash – first at the club followed by drinks at the Red Lion and the new curry house now open in the market square. Organised by Joe Pygall the 1st team captain. The club event involved a very friendly doubles competition, not strictly to the rules, but for ease of scoring each side just having the one serve before hand out and playing one game to 15. The sides were made up with one first team player having a second team player as his partner. As an outsider I cocked things up as the were 5 from each team plus me. Unfortunately for Martin Killeen, partnering our top ranked player, Steve Franklin, he suffered a calf tear during the 2nd match – they having won the 1st. This left an opening for your truly. The Franklin partnership, having given Lyndon Kennedy and Richard Bellamy a tonking in one of the 4 lead up matches – the final nearly went their way having 2 chances before losing out at 18/16. The consensus was that a fine evening was had by all and the new Curry house was pleasant experience. Worth a visit if you have not been.
So thanks to Joe Pygall – who presented umpteen trophy statutes to winners of various categories – Jim Burton, the 2nd team captain winning 4, which he then distributed to his team’s winners. Joe did likewise for his.

Should anyone else have concerns about the recent email from Squash Levels concerning price increases, which you will have received as a registered member of Squash Levels, through our Internal league system.
Should you click on the Upgrade link you can see listed what you get for free, and what extras you get for £20 & £30 per annum.
For many of you, free will no doubt be in enough. For the more keener ones amongst you to know where you stand level world wide wise, plus the additional facilities available for just – £20 or £30 a year is not robbing the bank – bearing in mind the club are now saving on using this system and is my view one step ahead of the system we have just left – which though free, was costing us £20 to get rid of the adverts and the previous SportyHQ system was costing £168 – that at a reduced rate.
So Personally i think the author is worthy of support. It is voluntary.
I have personally subsidised our our own sbsquash.co.uk website and the league system system which we first introduced with the website in 2013. The costs are now down to a minmum and are now currently covered by Notts League players out of the surplus from their match fees.
Please help the author if you are able by upgrading.
You should note that Squash Skills is now integrated with the Squash Levels system which is being used World Wide for ranking players in Tournaments. Squash Skills does require an addition subscription.
It is why there are non SBS relevant topics in abundance in the upper part of the Home page. Scroll to the bottom of the page for menu and specific Sutton Bonington connections.
