GSRA to quit Kings for centre
Wednesday 25th June 2008, 2:30PM BST.
THE Guernsey Squash Rackets Association has pulled out of Kings Club. The decision was made at an emergency meeting held by the GSRA on Monday.
It came at a time when Kings Life accused the association and Peter Bridgeman (pictured), the island’s director of squash and his assistant, Martin Watts, of unpaid court hire bills from the last year. ‘From the 2008-9 season we’ll hold all GSRA events at Beau Sejour,’ said the president Carrie Birch. She declined to comment on the relationship between the association and Kings ‘as we feel it will not be productive to do so’.
For 35 years the club has always been the home of squash in the island and helped produced the sport’s greats such as Lisa Opie, Martine Le Moignan, John Le Lievre and Jason Nicolle.
Birch also declined to go into details of the outstanding debts but said that Bridgeman and Watts had been given insufficient time to deal with the invoices.
