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 2026/2027

You can now sign up for the next ladies evening on Wednesday 11th November 2026 to be held at the University of Oxford Sports Centre on Iffley Road from 7pm.
 
It will be a little different to normal in that there will be no charge for the squash session itself. The Uni girls will also not be providing food and drink after the event, but there is a nice pub that does food just opposite the sports centre and Cowley Road just round the corner…
 
As usual, if you would like to play can you please let Helen Knowles know by email before 8th November.
 
An exciting new venue 🙂

The final evening for 2026 will more than likely be held at Abingdon Squash Club on December 9th 2026.

If anyone would like to host one at their club then that would be amazing. Please do get in touch if you are considering it and we can have a chat.

Please contact Helen Knowles if you would like any more information.

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 your match fee, a meal and a drink. The venue is usually shared between Abingdon Squash Club and The Park Sports Centre in Wheatley.

Every session is open to ladies from any club and of any standard and everyone is welcome.

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

Oxfordshire ladies on squash court

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]
