Today we want to give a big shout out to our MAJOR sponsors & Local businesses that help keep Karratha Squash Club thriving.

🎉 KARRATHA SQUASH CLUB – 2025 WRAP UP & JOYCE KRANE SPRING SEASON! 🎉

🎉 KARRATHA SQUASH CLUB – END OF YEAR SHENANIGANS NIGHT! 🎉

What an absolute cracker of a night! Our final Shenanigans Fun Squash Night for the year brought together almost 40 players from across the Karratha community — including over 10 juniors who absolutely held their own on court!

The night was packed with organised chaos (in the best way possible), featuring:
🔥 Speed Squash
🎡 Wheel of Doom – Speed Squash Edition
🏃‍♂️ The Chaser

For those who haven't experienced the Wheel of Doom, it’s one of the most entertaining formats we run, giving players either a punishment or a perk against or shared with the opponent. Some of these included:
• Playing with your left hand
• Using a 1950s wooden racquet
• Junior's ball or racquet
• Plus a few other “creative” disadvantages 🤣

The Chaser kept things spicy too, with lower-ranked players given a head start before the higher-ranked players came charging after them. One of the highlights was Steph Collins vs Durand — a huge comeback from Steph who, even with her handicap, proved she’s simply a much better squash player than Durand… sorry mate, the scoreboard never lies 😂

We also had a stack of prizes to give away, making the night even more exciting for players of all levels.
🙏 A massive thank you to our sponsors for supporting this event:
• Mitre 10 Karratha (major sponsor)
• Home Hardware Karratha (major sponsor)
• Compass Group – Bay Village Karratha (long-term club partner)
• Edge Karratha
• Harvey Norman Karratha
• Subway Karratha
Your support is genuinely appreciated and helps us continue delivering events that bring our squash community together. 😻

Thank you to everyone who played, supported or simply came down to enjoy the chaos.
We can’t wait to see you all at the next Shenanigans Night! 💙🏸

🎉 CHEMDRY CLUB CHAMPS – KARRATHA SQUASH CLUB WRAP UP! 🎉

🏆 Congratulations to our 2025 Champions:
• A Grade: Daniel Mines
• B Grade: Neil Harrington

• D Grade / Juniors: Landon Bennett

A massive shout out to Daniel Mines and Charlotte for coordinating the draws and managing most of the day, an enormous effort that made everything run smoothly!

🙏 A huge appreciation to all of our sponsors, with special thanks to our major sponsor, ChemDry. ChemDry has been a long term financial supporter of the Karratha Squash Club, and we honestly appreciate Wendy Johnson to the end of the earth! We couldn’t do it without her!

Thanks again to all players, supporters and volunteers. Can’t wait to do it all again next year! 💙🏸
