History of Beaconsfield Squash Club  squash player

 

Beaconsfield Squash Club was built in 1972/3 by Lord Burnham on land that was owned by him. Today, we are a members club with a lease on our premises from the Burnham Estate.

The club was opened in June 1973 by Judge Lawrence Verney who had at one time played squash for Wales. His challenge was that he could beat any player the first time he played them and proved it by winning a match against Jonny Leslie (who later became the last British Amateur Champion.)

Well known former members include: Jonny Leslie and Phil Kenyon who each represented England, Stuart Davenport who was the New Zealand number one, Sue Devoy who for a number of years was the Ladies World Chanpion as well as Dick Carter who rose to prominence as a Senior.

During the 1970's the club provided almost the entire Buckinghamshire squash team. Now Beaconsfield can still claim to be the most successful club in the county, with four men's and two ladies teams in the county league.

In the county league last year the men's first team won division one and the men's second team won division two. The ladies team has won division one 3 times in recent years.

The Junior squad is also very strong having won both 1st and 3rd divisions last season.

The club welcomes players at any level. We offer beginners excellent coaching facilities and the chance to play in a variety of competitions as well as sample our range of social activities.
