There are no 6 Nations games this weekend but the tournament continues next week.
Rugby Squash tournament makes its return to the club. Here’s a blurb from the organizer 240 Gord Young
It is with great pleasure to announce that the Rugby Squash Tournament is back March 25th, 26th and March 28th of 2026 and this is your formal invitation to sign up! It is time to dust off your balls, racquets, goggles and such and squeeze onto the courts for some epic Squash action! Not to worry, the rugby part is very minimal and we have band aids on site.
We need 64 players of varying skill sets, from beginner to pros (it’s a state of mind); to pay $75, get a deluxe souvenir T-Shirt to prove you were really there, a bite to eat during the week, a few pints, a chance to win fabulous prizes and most importantly the opportunity to rub shoulders with new people, old friends, exes, foes and some cool rugby players pretending to play Squash.
Format is rally-point to 25, no need to win by 2 and you will be matched up, as best as humanly possible, with someone of like ability or inability, keeping in mind we make the odd mistake in ranking players! Having said this, any mismatches will be addressed as best we can and all matches should be reasonably even.
Please confirm via email, as soon as possible, to gyoung240@yahoo.ca and e-transfer the cash and I will solidify your spot. We do our best to accommodate timing on the schedule but it is relatively flexible. Games will run from 4pm to about 10pm on Wednesday and Thursday and if you are not pissed by then, it’s your fault. Eight teams of 8 players for the Wednesday and Thursday evening, we then take the aggregate for each team and the top 4 teams play off on Saturday with a clean slate and 4 teams are eliminated after play on Thursday, pretty simple! Games Saturday run 1pm to 4pm and voila, we are done!
Thanks for all of your wonderful support over the years and incidentally, all proceeds go to the rugby section. Fast math tells me we have raised over $100,000 over the many years we have been doing this and the rugby budget now exceeds well over $100,000 every year and this is a very fun way to help. Sign up, do it now as it will fill up quickly. Cheers, 240 (Gord Young)
