Find out about Racketball

1 11 2008

What exactly are those strange rackets being used on the squash courts? You can find more out about racketball, including how to play it, here
http://www.englandsquash.com/racketball/

And as for Racketball Versus Racquetball?

“Two nations separated by a common language often trips off the tongue of media commentators when discussing the relationship between Britain and the United States. And you could be forgiven for thinking that is solely what separates racketball from its cousin across the Atlantic (racquetball).

However while the basic design of the squash court is shared by the two codes there are indeed differences that mark them out as separate sporting disciplines. …”

Davy Douglas of Backswing views the new court 2 advertising

The newly refurbished Blue court 2 at Dumfries Sports Club now has a new tin sponsor. Backswing, the main agent for Karakal Rackets and Equipment for Dumfries and Galloway and operated by Davy Douglas, are now the principal advertisers on Court 2.

Davy, who is a long-standing member of the club and was heavily involved on the Nunholm Squash Club committee for many years as secretary, was delighted with the new court tin.

He said: “The continuing improvements of the courts are a credit to the hard work of the present squash club committee. The squash playing members of the club have given Backswing tremendous support over the years. So in return it is nice to be able to give something back to the club with sponsorship of the new Court 2 tin.” Read the rest of this entry »
