ENTRIES OPEN FOR MATCHPOINT TENERIFE OPEN 2027

THE PERFECT holiday is made of the three S’s, as every MatchPointer knows . . . sun, sea, and that exhausting, sweaty activity which can be over quickly!

And yes, we are delighted to announce that MatchPoint has taken care of all three of these experiences with our first ever (truly) foreign away trip. Our never-ending Magical Mystery Squash tour descends on the paradise party island of Tenerife next Spring, with a special trans-continental 2-day tournament in the capital, Santa Cruz.

March 6 to 7 are the dates for your diaries, with FIVE matches guaranteed, so get on the Ryanair app now (other budget airlines are available) and get your flights booked.

Centro Municipal de Squash Tenerife is our fantastic host club. (For non-Spanish speakers, that translates as the Tenerife Municipal Squash Centre). Your MatchPoint organiser, Cai Younger, has played in Santa Cruz many times (he was runner-up in the Canarian Championships in 2025) and can vouch for the skills, enthusiasm, warmth and hospitality of our Canarian cousins.

One suggested plan would be to stay in the sun-drenched South of Tenerife (around or near Los Cristianos), which offers regular and cheap 50-minute bus trips to the capital. But car rentals are cheap and plentiful, and there is also the option to stay in or around the fantastic port city of Santa Cruz itself. Average temperatures in Tenerife in early March are early to mid-20’s so don’t forget your suncream.

This promises to be the most exciting MatchPoint yet on a paradise island among a bunch of Canarian squash obsessives, with a warm welcome guaranteed.

And to help you on your way, MatchPoint has prepared un poco de Spanish for you to help you get by:

- “Bien jugado” (well played)
- “Eso rebotó dos veces” (that bounced twice)
- “Habríamos ganado el Mundial si no fuera por Thomas Tuchel” (we would have won the World Cup if it hadn’t been for Thomas Tuchel)
- And most importantly: “Cincuenta cervezas, por favor”

Will Tynemouth's return to the summer be a triumphant one? Can Westoe finally win summer silverware after 7 previous attempts in the playoffs? Will Eldon repeat their heroics of 2024, or can Consett win it all in their debut summer season!?

MATCHPOINT #43 NORTON OPEN - ENTRIES OPEN

FORGET all the tatty witches hats and cheap scary outfits - what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a monster MatchPoint day at Norton?

We return to the Teesside club for the second time on Sat Oct 31 - and it promises to be a real squash spectre-cal.

With four glass-back courts in action throughout the day, and up to 60 MatchPointers in action, expect a real fright to the death in our best-of-3 monrads. Once again entries will be ranked to their SquashLevels across a minimum of four graded events, so everyone has more than a ghost of chance to spirit up a trophy.

Norton is a small friendly club which is easily defendable from all four sides from any possible zombie invasion (please set your string tension accordingly), so this is the perfect venue for the perfect day.

Fancy dress is optional for MP #43 this All Hallows’ Eve, although if previous Matchpoint events are anything to go by, scary masks will not be required in the majority of cases.

Get your entries in quick - it would be a real own-ghoul to miss this one.
