SENIOR SQUASH
MENS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
3 of the 4 man team are Sutton Squash Players, Sam Buckley, Oisin Logan and Michael Creaven will be joined by Sean Conroy as they travel to New Zealand today to take part in the Men's Senior World Championships.
What an amazing opportunity for this young team. Ireland have drawn the hardest Pool in the first round getting the NO:1 seeds Egypt and Malaysia. They will take on Malaysia first on MONDAY 11/12/2023 on the Glass Court and we will try to get Live Steaming links out to you.
Sam Buckley will have the opportunity to play World No:1 seed Ali Farag of Egypt in the second match, with Mostafa Asal seeded 4 in the World and Karim Gawad No:6.
Superb picture of the lads in the airport before boarding a flight to take them on a journey of a lifetime and I'm sure they will have many more in years to follow.
