Read the full storyThe Ingham Squash Centre is back in action, with fixtures resuming for the first seasonal games of 2025. Fortunately, the courts remained undamaged during the recent devastating floods, allowing the Ingham Squash Racquets Association to welcome players back for an exciting start to the season.
A strong contingent of 24 A-Grade men and women took to the courts last Tuesday night for the third week of fixtures, while 36 eager competitors have signed up for the Thursday night A and B-Grade mixed competition.
Junior squash numbers are also on the rise, with Come and Try sessions continuing over the next few weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 3 pm. Coaches Maureen Lahtinen and Rae Domin, both highly experienced, have been thrilled to see returning junior players and new faces keen to give the sport a go.
The club recently secured the Queensland Government’s Active Girls Grant, ensuring free registration for girls of any school age. This initiative aligns with the club’s strong junior development program, which has produced many representative players over the years.
A special congratulations goes to Queensland representatives Liam Fascetti and Ally Rhodes, who were named Senior and Junior Sportspersons of the Year at the recent Australia Day awards—an outstanding achievement for both athletes.
Squash is an exciting and inclusive sport for all ages and skill levels, and new players are always welcome. To get involved, visit the Ingham Squash Racquets Association Facebook page to register your interest.
