Kawaroa Park Squash Club

We are devastated to share the passing of Duane Cameron. Known for his banter on and off the court, “show pony” style of squash, Duane was an absolute character and asset to the squash club and many other local clubs. Our thoughts go out to his wife Sarah and their three kids.

All of us in the squash and wider community will miss you mate, fly high 🕊️

Duane’s funeral will be next Friday, details to come.

We had the Entec KP Open & Doubles tournament on the weekend, and man, what a weekend. Super cool to have a massive Taupō crew make the trip, along with a few from Ohakune, Whangārei, Te Kūiti, and of course from all over the Taranaki! 🏔️

Really appreciate everyone going with the flow - everyone who jumped to fill in gaps, move game times, it all just ran smoothly. Shout out to Darky from Ōkato who filled in on a couple hours notice after a last minute pullout. And to Amy and Denise for helping me find fill ins in the lead up 😮‍💨

Huge congrats to our open winners Abbie Holmes and Allan Bailey, and the open doubles winners Tarek and Sam, along with all our winners in the other divisions 🏆

And a big thanks to Entec for sponsoring yet again - we decided it’s been at least 10 years that they have been sponsoring this event which we appreciate hugely - also awesome to see Rob himself back on court for his first tournament in 4 years! 💪🏻

The D grade men appreciate everyone who supported them in the kitchen, how good was their food! And shout out John Williams and team for coordinating dinner Saturday night, man knows how to feed a crowd 🔥

That was our last tournament for the season, but hope to see you again soon at our doubles in February!!

🔥 ENTEC KP OPEN & DOUBLES 2026 🔥
The draws are now LIVE on MySquash - for those playing doubles, please let your partners know your times too. Note, I am still looking for a lady in the E2/F grade division (if you know anyone keen, let me know ASAP, but I am working on it) so that spot has a placeholder for the minute (UPDATE: have found one)

In the kitchen this weekend we have our D Grade Men's Superchamps team - they are fundraising to go to nationals down in Wellington in a few weeks so please show them some support.

A huge thanks to Entec as the tournament sponsor - it's a pleasure to have the Entec man himself Rob Evans taking the court this weekend, so make sure you shout him a drink and a thank you for sponsoring this tournament yet again, bloody legend!

Safe travels and see you all soon 💪
