Friendly Squash Tournament: England Vs. Hungary, 26 May
An opportunity for an international challenge. Amatorsquash.hu and Griff Squash & Fitness club are providing a possibility, as an experiment, for keen social players to test their skills against players from other countries. We present 3 English teams. And what comes next… who knows? It’s all up to you! Meaning that, if our experiment proves to be a success and you like it, then…

One thing is for sure: there will be a return fixture in England where you could join us on an inexpensive trip. (We would mainly be expecting the current participants for the return leg.)

What are you waiting for?

The tournament, which is going to be planned and overseen by The Szabadidos Squash SE (amatorsquash.hu), invites non-professional men and women from the whole country to take part. Three teams will come from England to compete against five Hungarian teams.
