WCC Championships The Wilmington Country Club Squash Singles and Doubles Championships begins January 4th. Finals night will be held February 26th. Please contact Ed Chilton or Nigel Thain to sign up. Also, signup sheets are posted on the Squash Building bulletin Boards. Commissioners Cup The 50th Commissioners Cup will be February 6-9, 2025. Expecting great participation for this milestone. Rick and Jack Porter, the originators as well as Commissioners from 1975-1984, put this event together for WCC players as well as their squash buddies in the Philadelphia area. Although Squash was important at the time, the event had way more to do with the Social side of the sport. Parties on both Friday and Saturday evenings went waaaay into the early morning, with players dragging themselves out of bed to play some semblance of squash doubles. After the finals on Sunday, with players still struggling, they managed to play football amongst themselves, prior to the Super Bowl. Most likely, better ratings for the WCC footballers…For those interested in playing, please contact Doug Herrmann, Ed Chilton or Nigel Thain. The Commissioner would love to have all members join in supporting the players for this momentous tournament. Schedule of events will be posted in January.
