Club Championship (Ballantine) Draw for 2023/24. Essentially all members and/or active players who are eligible have been entered, with the top 4 players based on past performance seeded into the quarter finals. Even if you've not played for a bit, it would be great if you could play your match(es); as you can see the numbers aren't what they've been in the past so keen to get participation levels as high (and enforced walkovers as low) as possible.

I don't propose to set a formal deadline date for matches at present, but if we could aim to complete the 4 round-of-16 matches by the end of February that would be great.

A reminder that anyone who loses their first match in the Ballantine is put into the Parkes competition, also a knockout. Ideally both finals will be played on the same evening, perhaps sometime in May or June 2024; date to be chosen when potential finalists' availability is clear.

The University of Strathclyde Staff Squash Club Championships have been running since 1967/68. The winners of the individual events have been as follows:
