Women’s Squash

As we find out more information about Women’s Squash in the County, we will post updates here.

Please see below what we are currently aware of is being provided throughout the county.

Ladies squash evenings for 2025/2026.

 

The Ladies Squash evenings for the 2025/2026 season have been set up to Christmas. With the closure of Racquets in Thame from October 2025 for the first two dates the venue will be Abingdon Squash Club but we are looking at further options and hope to play in Wheatley in December:

Wednesday 22 October 2025 – Abingdon Squash Club
Wednesday 19 November 2025 – Abingdon Squash Club
December TBC, hopefully at Wheatley once the ex-Thame players have settled in

 

Helen will send out a call to sign up 2-weeks before each session.

Helen arranges matches with players of a similar standard depending on who signs up. Ladies then stay afterwards for food, a drink and a chat. The cost for each evening is £12.00* which includes you match, a meal and a drink. Every session is open to ladies from any club and of any standard and everyone is welcome.

*Subject the change

Anyone interested in joining or who would like to be added to the distribution list please contact Helen Knowles – [email protected]

Farewell to Racquets, Thame

It was a packed and fun final Ladies evening at Racquets, Thame recently, for the first time the evening was fully booked with keen ladies from around the county. Matches were closely fought and friends were made and it was great to see lots of new faces. It is a shame to have to say goodbye to Racquets, but many of the ladies will continue to play in their new venue at The Park Sports Centre in Wheatley. 

County Squash

Oxfordshire generally enter a ladies team in the Over 40’s county competition (although not this coming year due to lack of availability). Anyone interested in playing county squash, please contact Helen Knowles – [email protected]
