SQUASH INTERSECTION: 17 SEPTEMBER The Squash Section hosted its InterSection tournament at the Padel courts at Marina Square. The event was well attended and we had players from Tennis, Netball, Cricket and Squash participating in this inaugural tournament. Robbie Lyons was the chief organiser of this event and it was great to see so many players participate in this event.

SPORTCARES INITIATIVE The Squash Section has partnered with SportCares Singapore to initiate a squash program as part of their wider sports offering. SportCares was established in 2012 as the philanthropic arm of Sport Singapore to enable vulnerable individuals and persons with disabilities to experience and reap the benefits of sport by instilling confidence and elevating one’s outlook to life. SportCares has selected 12 young people to participate in a 3-month pilot programme. The programme is designed to give these youth an introduction to Squash but more importantly, to engage them through fun, positive and healthy activities with a key focus on personal development. This program is a brain child of our Mens captain Robbie Lyons and he is being helped by our committee member, Reuben Tay, who is running this 12-week clinic. The Section organised a fund raiser and we managed to collect extra funds and equipment that will help us run this program for a few weeks longer than the 12 weeks we originally planned for. We are thankful to all our Members who contributed so generously to this initiative.
