Scottish open introduction
For the first time in our history, UK Racketball travels up to Glasgow to one of Scottish Squash's top clubs, Newlands LTC. This lovely venue has a great Racketball uptake and is a hub for Scottish Racketball, having already hosted several Scottish National Racketball Championships in the past few years.
With top local players such as Head Coach Matt Bedwell (a National Championships regular), Scottish Masters team player Mark Ford, and also several semi pro Scottish Squash players in the mix, our A Grade regulars are likely to have their work cut out at the top end!
We are also looking forward to having a few post event beers with out Scottish counterparts, and hopefully aim to build up a top event with bigger and better to come going forward. Due to there being so many players travelling up and staying over we will be looking to sort out a social post event! Stay tuned with the event details to find out more closer to time...
