BROXBOURNE 2024 - A SELLOUT SUCCESS!
The strong draw line ups didn't disappoint on Saturday as we had some fantastic battles across all of the categories at Broxbourne Sports Club. Plenty of shocks and suprises from start to finish and some really entertaining match ups too. Check out the draws and results on the below link and read on for our post event wrap up...
BROXBOURNE 2024
In the Over 70's, current National Champion Graham Greensall started his 2024 campaign in imperious form, not dropping a game on the way to winning his first title of this Series. Back from injury and with the bit between his teeth he could well be an early candidate for overall Series success come the end of this year... In the O60's, another National Champion and one-to-beat Patrick Osborn managed to come through a tough draw, battling past local player Richard Hicks in a quality final 2/1, after Hicks himself took down club mate Mark Blake in the semis 2/1.
In the Over 50's, it was the turn of the ''youth'' as newly 50 years old Andy Hopwood came through another tough batch of matches, dropping games to Paul Dodds and Mark Banfield on the way to the final, where he faced another Broxbourne legend David Acquet. It was a bit of a topsy turvy match with both players having patches of being on top with some quality hitting, mixed in with some loose errors. Hopwood eventually managing to see it through 2/0 in two tight games. Two of the Series heavyweights were lined up to meet in the O40's final and duly did, in a high quality match of the event. 2023 Series Champion Alexis Smith taking on previous Champion Ryan Loska in a brutally tight 2/1 battle in well over 40 mins of play. Smith's aggressive attacking play eventually managing to break through Loska's relentless retrieval and absorbing play, 11/8 in the 3rd. The fist pump and shout from the usually taciturn Smith highlighting how good a win it was!
A very busy 16 draw in the B Grade threw up some great games all the way through and it was great to see some new faces in the mix. In the end it was Dover's Stu Tyler, Essex's Mike Bagguley, Poole's James Dean and Aylesbury's Tristan Vasey who made it through the boxes to the semis, with Bagguley putting Tyler's great run in the comp to an end 2/0 and Vasey battling past Dean 2/0 in a long duel between two very similarly styled players. Another great match ensued in the Final, ending up with Bagguley taking his first UK RB Series title (leaving Vasey rather despondant having missed out for a third time of asking at the Finals stage!) A promotion to the A Grade looks to be on the way...
We had a great line up in both the Open and the Doubles categories, with 8 and 16 draws repectively. Some of the top regular Series players came to the party in both the draws and the quality was really high throughout the day. In the Open, Colin Griggs came through his box without dropping a game, a strong 2/0 performance vs Callum Arnott a notable effort. In Box Two, Oliver Staunton continued to show his impressive improvement in the game, as he beat the likes of Norton / Kershaw and Russell to get through to the Final. (Bearing in mind he only moved into A Grade at the start of last year from B!) However, the days efforts took its toll on the legs of the Hampshire man as the relentless Griggs dominated the T and didn't allow him to get any real foothold in the game, taking it 2/0.
The Doubles was an incredibly strong line up (perhaps the strongest in depth we have ever had) and it threw up a whole host of upsets along the way. Pre event ones to watch Phipps/Strong and Kershaw/Staunton not even making it out of the group stages! It came down to a Final between two underdog sides, Luke Bishop & David Marshall taking on Patrick Osborn & Gary Naidoo having both recorded some superb wins across the day. In the end the nous of the incredibly experienced (possibly more than anyone on the circuit now!) Osborn and the quality lines and retrievals of Naidoo were too much for the other pair to get past, taking the match and the title 2/0. It was fantastic to see such high quality Doubles play across the day and so many sides involved, getting to the point that we need an A and B Grade Doubles category now!
A big thank you to all who took part and the club for hosting us once again (on what was a very busy day generally for the venue.) We look forward to coming back next year! For those who missed out on getting into the event this time, we hope to be able to make it possible for more entries next year.

Our first event of the 2023 UK Racketball Series took place at Broxbourne Sports Club on 11th February and with a fully packed out draw it was always going to be a good one. This year's event certainly didn't disappoint!
There were some class matches across all the categories, from a high quality Open Final between Nick Mulvey and Luke Bishop (the former getting a revenge win from his loss last year), to some brutally tight Doubles, B Grade and O50s Semis and Finals. Player of the day has to go to local Broxbourne legend Danny Weights, who not only captured the O40s title after a hard 3/1 win over Alexis Smith, but also alongside partner Adam Grilli managed to topple top seeded pairing Luke Bishop and Amber Marshall in the Doubles Final!
The list of winners can be seen below, along with the link to the event page on Sporty HQ for all the other results from the draws. It was great to see everyone back in action once again and we look forward to keeping the Series rolling with the next event at Hallamshire on 25th March for the North East Open!

East of England Racketball Open

The return of the UK-Racketball Series in 2023 begins once again at Broxbourne for the East of England Racketball Open!
The Broxbourne tournament was new to the Series in 2018 and has proved very popular ever since with the event in 2019 selling out early. In February 2020, the East of England Open became the first and last event of the year, as the series came to a premature end. We came back with a bang in 2022 with a very strong A Grade draw. This saw Luke Bishop take a marathon 2/1 win over local favourite Nick Mulvey to retain his title at the club.
Paul Cousins took out the fast improving Oliver Staunton in the B Grade, with local legend Adam Grilli just losing out to the relentless Ryan Loska in the O40s.
Jason Russel took the first of his 2022 series titles in the 50s, beating Roger Camp in the Final, and Nick Sims was the 60's Champion over Exeter's Graham Holmes.
Our first year of O70s age group events saw Series regular Graham Greensall beat Alec Livingstone in the final. Really great to have such a good O70's uptake! Finally, Luke Bishop & Amber Marshall took the Doubles title in an entertaining match against the retrieving skills of Loska and the ball skill of Paul Knocker Norton!
It is likely that Broxbourne will be popular again this year falling straight after the winter break and being the first of the 2023 series. If you are planning to play then you are advised not to leave it to the last minute. This is a lovely tournament and not one to miss out on!
Broxbourne Sports Club has a wide range of top class facilities centred in the county of Hertfordshire. Well maintained and warm courts with a cozy bar that overlooks two of the courts. The glass back show court will once again be used for the event finals. Dan Fernandez, Patrick Osborn, Adam Grilli, Mark Banfield, Amber Marshall and Marc Thornley are all local to Broxbourne and long standing players in the Series, feel free to ask them about the events. For online entries follow this link to the Broxbourne Tournament page on SportyHQ.

East of England racketball open - report and results

It was fantastic to be back in Broxbourne for the first event of the 2022 UK-Racketball Series. This was just the fourth time we've visited the East England club, and it's already proving to be a favourite venue among our series regulars. Entries for the East of England Open were among the strongest we've seen for a regional event, having sold out the week before the event.
The A Grade was perhaps the strongest we've had on UK Racketball outside of the British Open and National Championships. Group A was led by series favourite Luke Bishop, currently on 14 Titles and 5th on the All-Time Leaderboard. He maintained his run of form to win the group and set up yet another Series Final. Group B was a highly competitive affair, featuring Michael Robinson, Nick Mulvey, Amber Marshall, and Elliot Selby. In what was effectively a semi-final, Nick took on Elliot on Court 5 in front of a packed-out bar with a hugely entertaining match. Some brutal Racketball and long rallies saw Nick eventually take the victory, but it may have taken something out of his legs going into the final. He started off very strong against Luke, winning the first 11/6, only to get embroiled in a huge battle for the second which Luke eventually took 14/12, both players saving multiple game balls. The third was locked in at 5/5, before Nick started cramping at the end of an incredibly long day to see Luke pull away for title number 15.
The B Grade had some really good entries and was one of the most competitive we've had, with 4 groups leading into semis and the final. Jodey Watts justified his number 1 seeding by coming through Group 1 unscathed, while in Group 2 the unseeded Oliver Staunton dispatched both the 2 and 7 seeds to progress to the semis. It was a similar story in Groups 3 and 4, with the seeds falling in both as Paul Cousins and Stuart Reeve made it to the next round. Both Semi-Finals went the distance, as did the B Grade Final, where Paul beat Oliver to take the title.

Both Semi-Finals went the distance, as did the B Grade Final, where Paul beat Oliver to take the title.

In the Over 40s, Number 1 seed Nick Jenkins took on local hero Adam Grilli in Group 1, with fifth-seed Adam getting the win and progressing to the final. In Group 2, Series Legend Paul Norton narrowly lost out to Ryan Loska, who joined Adam in the final. Ryan would go on to beat the home favourite Adam in the final, adding Title number 18 to his tally and sending him to Joint First on the all-time leaderboard alongside Patrick Osborn and Ted Jeal.
The Over 50's featured 3 groups of 4 going into a winner's group. All-time Series Leader Patrick Osborn headed up Group 1, although he was pushed all the way by David Acquet, 2 of their 3 games going to tie-breaks. In Group 2, Jason Russell saw off the 2, 5, and 7 seeds to win the group without dropping a game. Jason was the Over 40's Series Champion 10 years ago, and with a great physical effort and fantastic retrieving looked much the same player he was when he won that title. Group 3 was won by 3 seed Roger Camp, who also came through his matches in straight games. Jason took his dominant form into the finals group, winning by a comfortable margin, while Patrick and Roger had a real scrap for second place, Roger eventually winning 3/2.
Two big groups in the Over 60's meant 4 matches each before a final showdown. Group 1 saw 1 seed Graham Holmes come through unscathed, winning every match 2/0. Group 2 saw some fierce competition between the seeds, with Nick Sims eventually coming out on top. The final was a very high-quality affair between two highly experienced players. Graham Holmes doesn't lose many UK Racketball finals, but Nick started well and never looked back, outclassing Graham which doesn't happen often and taking the title.

Graham Holmes doesn't lose many UK Racketball finals, but Nick started well and never looked back, outclassing Graham which doesn't happen often and taking the title.

The Doubles was also one of the strongest we've had, selling out early and featuring a very high standard of pairs across both groups. Series favourites Luke Bishop and Amber Marshall once again teamed up, and were pushed all the way by the experienced pairing of Zoe Fennel and Patrick Osborn. Bishop/Marshall would eventually take the win and go on to the final. Group B also saw local players come through, scoring a couple of tight 2/1 wins over the seeded pairs to reach the final. In the final the experience of Luke and Amber, who've played and won together numerous times, really made the difference as they beat Elliot and Adam 11/8, 11/9.
It was a brilliant day at Broxbourne once again, a huge thank you to the club for hosting us for a fourth time. A big thank you to Luke from SportyHQ as well, who showed up on the day to watch a UK-Racketball Series event in person and help ensure everything went smoothly as we used the software for the first time at an event.
We hope to see you all next month at Hallamshire for the North-East of England Racketball Open.
