Hunts County Squash Club celebrates 2024 finals event

For the first time, Elphicks of Huntingdon sponsored the championships and this helped elevate the event with tournament shirts for every entrant and superb trophies.

Beginning at the end of September, the start of the squash season, more than 230 matches across 10 different categories finished with the superb Finals Night event.

With both squash and racketball being contested in both singles and doubles events, nearly every member was involved in the championships either as a player of spectator.

The two biggest titles went to Lizzie Kilsby (Women’s Open) and Diego Pita (Mixed Open Champion).

A superb match befitting of a final ended in a 3-1 victory to Diego, with each game separated by only a few points.

Other notable winners were club chairman Sean Brodrick who became triple doubles champion (open, mixed and racketball doubles) and Danny Caulkett who won the legendary Club Handicap title.

Jon Pittams, Elphicks sales director and club member, said: “We’re honoured to support such a great club, and a truly superb event.

"I’ve been involved here since I was a boy from coaching, to member, to team player, and it has been a pleasure to give a little back to a facility that has given both me and this community so much."
