Finals: Dulwich Squash Club 2025 Annual Tournament
This year’s tournament kicked off on 28th June and concluded on 2nd August, wrapping up an exhilarating 35 days of intense competition and sportsmanship.
We set an incredible record of nearly 150 registrations across six categories, all vying to secure one of the coveted 14 player spots in the finals. As is typical, the tournament started at a moderate pace. However, our competition organisers, Greg Wallyn and Harry Prescot, with the support of Nikhil Roy, maintained momentum throughout the rounds. Their dedication delivered the finals everyone eagerly anticipated.
The finals were spectacular! Could the new rising star dethrone last year’s champion in the Men's finals? Who would emerge victorious in the Ladies final between the talented junior sisters? Did the handicap system deliver a balanced Handicap final? Which of the two familiar faces in the Veterans category would capture our support? And did the Doubles and Racketball finals live up to the legendary matches of last year? For the answers and photos of the finalists, click on the "More details" box to find out!
A massive thank you to all the competitors for their participation. We now set our sights on the Winter Closed Handicap!
