It's been a mixed couple of weeks for the Men's 6th team...

A good team performance at Lee on Solent saw us pick up 17 points with a 3-2 win against a decent Lee team.  There were convincing victories for Ian Garnham, Allan Hawkey and John Titchener.  Trevor Leahy lost 3-2, but battled hard and did well to pull back two games from 2-0 down to former Winchester player Emily Heyes.
Then last Sunday evening, the strategically timed fire alarm at Five Rivers just before the start of the match put us off our stride against our promotion rivals (the fire engine never did turn up!).  We lost 4-1, with the only highlight of the evening being a solid 3-0 win by Tim Cooling at number 2.
That result still leaves us top of the division, but with Five Rivers level on points but with one win fewer.  Both Nuffield Health teams are close behind, and Avenue have 3 games in hand so could still mount a challenge.  So it's going to be a tight race for promotion which could go down to the wire.

report from Allan Hawkey

The club is hosting an intercounties squash match and a Hampshire girls training  squad this weekend and as a result court availability will be reduced. On Saturday two courts will still be available for members throughout the day while on Sunday there are no courts available between 10:30am and 3pm.

The squash committee assessed and approved the hosting of the events based on review of court usage at weekends. There is still lots of opportunity to play on both days and members' cooperation is appreciated.

It was a big win over St Georges Hill last Tuesday for IGT Winchester in front of a full house. With the world number three, Gregory Gaultier living up to his billing, it proved to be a great night at the Club.

Tickets are now available for our next home match on Tuesday 31st March against Exeter Diamonds.

Mens 6th team go 3 points clear at the top of their division.

Following a 4-1 (17-5) win against Wykeham and as a result of Nuffield Health dropping 6 points in their first match since Christmas, our 6th team are now clear at the top of their division. Well Done to the team for good all round performances and special mention to Patrick Fisher playing at number one.

Winchester 6th go equal top of league..... Despite losing a tight match 3-2 away at Nuffield Health, our 6th team captained by Allan Hawkey reached equal top by picking up 10 points and restricting their opponents to 16 points. The loss came despite a commanding performance from Scott Finlayson at number one  (won 3-0) and an excellent battling 3-2 win by number two Tim Cooling.
