Reigate Open 2026

Andrew Loftus — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:53:08 +0000

What a fantastic weekend we’ve just had at The Reigate Open 2026 — two packed days of squash, great atmosphere and brilliant support from players, volunteers and spectators alike.

Across the weekend we played an incredible 137 matches:

61 matches on Saturday
76 matches on Sunday

The club was buzzing from start to finish and showcased squash at its very best.

While everyone sees the matches on court, what often goes unnoticed is the huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make an event like this run smoothly.

A massive thank you to Sarah and Paul, who worked tirelessly behind the bar all weekend, keeping players and spectators fuelled with hot and cold drinks, snacks, fruit, and sandwiches (courtesy of M&S).

Huge thanks as well to Lisa, who kept the playing schedule running smoothly, alongside Sam, who made sure the whole weekend ran like clockwork.

And then there’s the less glamorous but absolutely essential jobs – emptying bins, unclogging loos, refilling loo rolls, washing up, last-minute supply runs… the list goes on. Thank you to everyone who chipped in to help make the weekend such a success. It truly was a team effort.

We’re already planning for next year’s event!

Thanks to our sponsors & photographers

Summer Team Round Up

Team Round Up

As the Surrey Summer Cup season draws to a close, here’s how our teams fared:

1st Team
They play their final match this evening vs Horley 1 (7.30pm at home). Come along, cheer them on and help them secure as many points as possible to stay in Division 1!

2nd Team
What a season! With only one loss, the 2nds stormed to victory in Division 4R, finishing a massive 24 points ahead of Purley 2. This means promotion to Division 3 next summer – a fantastic achievement. Well done to all who played and supported the team and best of luck with the play off vs Dorking 1 to see who will be the div 4 champions!

3rd Team
Results didn’t quite go their way this year and they finished 8th in Division 4B. Sadly, that means a drop down next season. Thanks to everyone who turned out each week and gave their best.

4th Team
A strong finish saw them claim 4th place in Division 7R, with seven wins and six losses, just 10 points off The Oakwood in 3rd. A big improvement after holding 5th place for much of the season.

We now turn our attention to the Winter Season, with the men’s, vets, and vintage teams (ladies’ fixtures TBC) set to provide more great squash and entertainment:

Vets: Saturday afternoons, from 3.30pm
Vintage: Mondays, from 7.30pm
Men’s teams: Wednesday & Thursday evenings, from 7.30pm

A very big thank you to all our team captains, who not only play but also handle the admin and organisation every week.
You can find all the results on the Surrey League Master website button below

Here’s to another great season of squash – see you on court!

Summer Braai and Wooden Rackets Tournament

Andrew Loftus — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:46:42 +0000

Last Saturday saw the inaugural wooden rackets tournament at the club, held to help raise some funds for our charity partner Stripey Stork. Thirteen club members harked back to their glory days, as they took up their deadly weapons of the eighties; Dunlop Max ply, Ghost Bats and Grays Blue tiny teardrop rackets were pressed back into service after a forty year hiatus. Tom Jenkins was the master of ceremonies and handicaps, as the competitors were split into two groups of players. Red dot ball, rough or smooth, English scoring, two serves, lets off the back wall, powerless drives down the wall, fluffed drop shots, frame shots unerringly finding the nick, all the old memories came flooding back to the venerable competitors.

A few toweling grips were replaced with a more modern version and only one string broke during the day. It was uncanny how well the competitors wielded their trusty wooden rackets (or should that be racquets?).

In team ‘Geoff Hunt’, the tournament organiser heroically martyred himself with an impossible handicap, leaving the way open for the antiquated league secretary Brandon Bratton to win the group, despite some heroic resistance from Richard Allum, Alan Ellerbeck, John Miles, Paul McKay and Ian Drummond.

In team ‘Jonah Barrington’, ‘Mike Pinggera the Very Senior’ saw off allcomers, including Andy Catford, Trevor Ladd, the returning proverbial bad penny Mike Parsons, Roy Taylor, and a strongly performing Colin Waite to head the group.

With Stripey looking on, Mike then proceeded to win the final with ease, taking down Brandon, hardly troubling the scorer in becoming the first holder of ‘Old Git of Reigate Squash Club’. Long may he reign!

Warren Glover then took centre stage with one of his world famous South African braais. Under African skies (or, because of the unseasonable rain, court D’s suspended floor), the maestro and partner in crime Sandra cooked up a sumptuous feast of boerewors, piri-piri chicken wings and burgers, whilst Sarah the salad supremo oversaw the dishing out of potato bake, green salad, pasta salad, more potato salad and lashings of cheese and cookies to the hungry hordes.

A portion of the match fees will be donated to the Stripey Stork cause and a great deal of fun was had by all. Thanks to Tom, Warren, Sandra, Sarah and Paul for the excellent organisation and Sylvia for the pictures.

Start your search for wooden rackets, headbands, impossibly small white shorts and impractical white polo shirts and we’ll see you next year!
