Week 2 – week commencing 14/9/26
Headline: Close matches for all three Henley teams in Oxfordshire League
Henley 1st Team had a real battle against University last Tuesday. At 1st string, captain Harry Carr played a blinder, by all accounts, taking down James McCouat (SquashLevel 11,500 versus Harry’s 9,500). Harry lost the first game before running out a winner (5-11, 11-3, 11-5, 11-3). “For about 10 points I was unplayable!”. At 2nd string Munro Montanus played despite being a bit poorly (“climbed out of a hospitable bed to play” according to the banter on the 1st team chat group) and was two games up before eventually being overhauled (14-12, 11-8, 5-11, 4-11, 8-11). Club coach, Adam Edge, had a win and Paul Ski added a valuable point. Despite the overall team loss, with all the points gained Henley actually went up one place in the division 1 table to 4th.

After a bye in the first week, Henley 2nd Team got their Winter campaign off to a start with a visit to Carterton. Despite wins from Joe Edwards (18-16, 11-15, 15-9, 9-15, 15-13) and Richard Little (15-13, 11-15, 15-8, 16-14), plus a point from skipper John Williams, Carterton took the overall team result.

Peter Rivers and Peter Hopkins added valuable points, keeping Henley joint top of the disional table, but Carterton took the overall team win.

Week 1 – week commencing 7/9/26
Headline: Winter1 season kicks off – Henley are running 4 teams
Thanks to increased membership and an influx of players wanting to play team squash, Henley are running 4 teams this Winter – 3 in Oxfordshire and 1 in Berkshire.
There were individual wins for Harry Palfreyman and Andy Martin in Henley 1st Team‘s opening match of the Winter1 season against Abingdon. Young Polish Junior, Kacper Kwiecinski, was playing at 1st string for Abingdon and looked particularly strong. Henley were missing Munro Montanus – we wish him well for a speedy return to full health. Richard Brown added a point to keep the score respectable. This coming week the team are at home to University – so a chance to see them in action tomorrow evening at Henley Leisure Centre.
Details:
Captain: Harry Carr
Position: 5th place in the 1st division (Oxfordshire)
This week’s match: Abingdon(1) 14 v Henley(1) 7 (on 8/9/26)
1. Harry Carr (0-3 loss)
2. Harry Palfreyman (3-1 win)
3. Adam Edge (0-3 loss)
4. Richard Brown (1-3 loss)
5. Andy Martin (3-0 win)
Henley 2nd Team are playing in division 4 this season, but had a bye in the first week. The Oxfordshire League has expanded from four to five divisions, compared to last Winter. So despite being division 4 champions last winter, the team find themselves in division 4 again, although they are joined by some teams who were in division 3 last winter. Hope that makes sense!

Henley 3rd Team got their season off to a winning start with a victory over Nuffield 2nd team. The match was poised at 2-2 when the 1st strings took to the court and Henley’s James Rowson prevailed (15-13, 9-15, 15-8, 15-12) to secure the overall team result. The other wins were for Peter Rivers and Miles Edwards with Richard Little and Jim Reay adding valuable points. Jim’s match, in particular, was tight, going to five games (15-13, 11-15, 9-15, 15-5, 7-15). This coming week the 3rds play at home on Wednesday. It is unusual to see Henley teams play home matches on a Wednesday, but I think this was done to avoid future clashes with Berkshire League matches.
