2025 Abercorn Club Championships roundup

Pulling in more than 60 members from across Abercorn squash and tennis, and with competition matches running from Monday, August 11th until finals day on Saturday, 27th September, the annual Club Championships are our biggest club competition of the year.

And for the first time ever, we held both squash and tennis finals on the same day. It certainly set the standard for showcasing sport at Abercorn. What a day!

Thanks to all the helpers on the day and in the lead up.  Bar staff, bar stockers, toy donators, food preppers, furniture movers, washer-uppers, bleacher puller-outers, spectators and of course a huge thanks to the two relentless organisers Rob Sznajder (with help from Tom Clemens) and Sam Martin for making sure everyone got through their matches in time for a very special finals day.
