Henley 1st Team had a tough start to the Summer season – playing at Oxford University Squash Club against a very strong University 1st team. Club coach Adam Edge, playing at 2nd string, was the only Henley player to win any games. Coming into the fixture, captain Harry Carr was short of players, so used his contacts at Wycombe Squash Club to draft in young Ayaan Khan. Ayaan has guested before for Henley, when he had a convincing win playing at 5th string. This time he was promoted to 3rd string and couldn’t repeat that performance. But a SquashLevel of 4,500 while playing at under-15 level is not bad going! Henley will be looking for a better result next week – at home on Tuesday to bottom-of-the-table Witney.

Henley 3rd Team are playing in the Berkshire Summer League for the first time. The team will be selected as Henley’s 3rd team in terms of player rankings – but note they appear as ‘Henley 1’ on the Berkshire website as they are the only Henley team playing there! It was a frustrating first week as their opponents, Wellington4, couldn’t raise a team. So Henley got maximum points and sit on top of the divisional table! They used the courts on Thursday night for some training and friendly matches.Their first ‘real’ fixture is now 21st May – away at Royal Berkshire.
