Lichfield Squash Club – Staffordshire Winter League 2025/26 End-of-season Night
Great to get the team together last night to celebrate the end of the winter season with a social hit, a few well-earned drinks, some food… and a few very prestigious awards.
A brilliant group effort this season with everyone stepping up, supporting each other, and representing the club in the right way.
Special congratulations to: Pete Knowles – Player of the Season
We also made a few additional awards:
Daniel Harrison – “Secret Weapon” Award Danny Perry – “Never Say Die” Award Andy Trueman – “Late Call-Up Hero” Award Dean ‘Deano’ Middleton – “Unsung Hero” Award Steve Kneller – “Divided Loyalties” Award James Howard – “Heart on Sleeve” Award Andy Williams – “Passion Under Pressure” Award Ian Pallett – “Stepping Up” Award James Roberts – “The Glue” Award
We’re pleased to announce that our new-look club leagues are now live, following a really positive response to our recent member survey. Thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute.
Based on the feedback received, we’ve introduced a number of changes to make the leagues easier to play, more flexible and more enjoyable for everyone:
• 5-player divisions (fewer matches, easier to complete)
• 4-week league cycles (quicker turnaround, more momentum)
• Weekly League Night (Tuesdays) alongside Club Night with a dedicated court for pre-arranged league matches
• WhatsApp groups per division to make arranging matches easier
• Monthly prize draw for players who complete all their matches (with MyCourts credit prizes)
• Recommendation to use a single yellow dot ball for a better playing experience
Our aim is simple — to get more matches played, reduce the hassle of organising games and keep things fun and competitive across all levels.
The new league cycle is now underway, and it’s not too late to get involved if anyone would like to join — just drop us a message.
While we were disappointed not to make it past the quarter finals, we’re really proud to have played a key role in organising the event and helping bring clubs together for what turned out to be a fantastic evening of squash.
There were some excellent matches on show, played in a great spirit, and it was brilliant to see such a strong turnout from across the county.
Congratulations to Four Oaks Squash Club on becoming the first ever Staffordshire Cup winners, and to Tamworth Squash & Racketball Club on being crowned League Champions.
From a Lichfield perspective, we finished a solid 4th in the league, and were delighted to see Pete Knowles recognised as our Player of the Season — fully deserved after a superb contribution, particularly in the second half of the campaign.
Thanks to everyone who supported the event —players, organisers and Wolverhampton for hosting.
Thanks to all who have supported the Lichfield Team too. Roll on next season! ... See MoreSee Less
Although we’re disappointed not to be actually competing in the finals night as a team, we’re really proud to have played a part in organising the Staffordshire Squash Cup Finals and Presentation Evening and helping to drive participation across the county.
It’s shaping up to be a great event and a fantastic way to round off the season.
We’re also delighted that one of our players will be recognised with a Lichfield Player of the Season award for the Winter League — well deserved, whoever it turns out to be!
Stay tuned on Wednesday evening to find out who ... ... See MoreSee Less
After defeats in the inaugural Staffordshire Squash Team Cup last week, Lichfield Squash Club and Tamworth Squash & Racketball Club were both at a loose end this evening so we were invited by Tamworth for a friendly at theirs.
We decided to try a different format with 4 v 4 in Point Pursuit, where each match is 3 games in duration, with every point won counting to a team total. There are also bonus points for every game won.
This adds a different dimension as there's always something to fight for.
Action is well underway and 'tune in' later for the results once the numbers are crunched...

Squash is a fast and exciting sport, but it also relies on good awareness and safe play on court.
Following a small number of recent head and facial injuries and several near misses, we’ve issued some guidance for players to help keep everyone safe while enjoying the game.
Our safety update covers:
• Personal space awareness on court • When to stop play if unsure • Swing technique and control • Understanding lets and strokes • The importance of proper eye protection • Why ordinary glasses are not suitable for squash • Reminder that eye protection is compulsory for juniors
We will also soon be announcing new coaching opportunities aimed at helping players improve technique, movement and spatial awareness — all of which contribute to safer play.
We’ve just published our latest club newsletter, and there’s lots going on:
• Growing membership & welcoming new players • New adult beginner sessions on Club Nights • Junior Squash Academy refresh & school partnerships • Club box leagues in full swing • Strong finish for our Staffordshire Squash teams • Exciting county-wide developments ahead
If you’re thinking about getting into squash locally, this is a great time to get involved.

Great to see the event, and the wider effort to grow squash across the county, getting some recognition.
