Following a celebration of 'World Squash Day' back in October, a number of women have signed up to take part in the racket sport, and have delighted squash and badminton coach Jayne Bradley.

Neil Procter said back in October that the squash club's focus was to bring more women into the sport: “One of our key goals going forward,is to work together to increase the number of women playing."
But why squash?
Jayne said: "It is a great sport for fitness and agility and helps to develop some positive hand-eye coordination — it's also great fun to whack a ball really hard at a wall."
The group is a mixed ability group from 'complete beginners' to 'improvers' level and Jayne said has been 'delighted' at the progress being made so far.
