Squash: General Meeting Wed 18 June
29 05 2014
You may have heard that our present Squash Section Chairman and Junior Convener have demitted office recently rather suddenly.
We would like to thank Keith and Jimmy for all the work they have done for the section over the past few years.
Our priority now is to sustain the success of the club and move forward.
In order to do that the committee feel that we should hold a meeting immediately and we would be keen for as many to attend as possible to give us feedback about the club and ideas for us going forwards. Some of the present committee members will be continuing and we require to appoint others to continue the work until the time of the next AGM.
We hope there will be a good attendance at the meeting on Wednesday 18th June (19:00). Please see the downloadable document below for details.
Sue Strachan
On behalf of the Squash Committee
The meeting is open to all members of Dumfries Sports Club, including those who do not list squash as their first sport.

Nunholm ‘Big Match’ Challenge
19 06 2012
The Tennis XI
The big cricket match of the weekend took place on Sunday afternoon, after the cricket section played some Twenty20 Cup fixture.
It was then that the might of Dumfries Tennis Club took to the field to see if Dumfries Squash Club could cope with playing outside.
Unfortunately for them they emerged blinking from the clubhouse in the dazzling sunlight and could still see the ball.
Hope of the side
After the hope of the side, Creedon, even after all his decades of experience, and kitted out in his ‘blues’, contrived to hit his own wicket the squash players then got the ball warmed up.
Fourteen year-old Dean Brotherston (the ringer) scored 46 retired and Jim Scriven was punishing on anything on the leg side hitting 30. Michael Goldie opened the bowling attack to good effect taking two wickets in his two overs.
A challenging total of 142 for 8 in 20 overs required a tennis player to play the equivalent of a five set big innings. However top scorer was D Strachan with 17 who then lost the bragging right at home, by being bowled off stump by F Strachan.
It was the Squash XI that nicked a victory, winning by 28 runs after the Tennis XI fell short ending up on 114 for 6.
Thanks to Bevo for organising the game and the post match barbecue. It was good to see the Sports Club so busy on the Sunday afternoon. Revenge for the Tennis in a possible re-match later in the summer was being plotted in the bar afterwards.
