NORTH-EAST OF ENGLAND RACKETBALL OPEN INTRODUCTION
This will be the 6th year that the HEAD UK-Racketball Series returns to Hallamshire for the North East Open. Past events at the Sheffield club have been some of the best in the country with a good number of both national and local entries. This event has a reputation for being one of the best on the calendar, so be sure to get your entry in while you still can.
The 2019 Hallamshire Racketball Open was a great success for the local members. Chris Duffy made it two in a row in the A Grade, as did Ryan Loska in the Over 40’s. The Over 60’s was once again highly competitive, with 4 groups of 4 contesting some fantastic matches. The final was one of the matches of the day, with David Worrall saving match balls against Gordon Lamb to eventually take the title. In the doubles, the final was an all-Hallamshire affair, with Thomas Murton and Alex Glencross taking the honours against previous winner Josh Park and Chris Duffy.
Hallamshire is home to squash legend Nick Matthew. Players taking part in this year’s UK-Racketball event will have the chance to play on the Nick Matthew Championship Court. The club’s Racketball section is one of the strongest, if not the strongest in the country, with plenty of group sessions running each week. The club runs a very successful racketball junior section on a Saturday morning, midweek women’s sessions and a very successful summer league. Get ready for potentially another strong local entry in 2022.
