Squash International to stay in Shepparton for next three years

Squash & Racquetball Victoria, the peak body for squash and racquetball in Victoria, is to continue partnering with the Greater Shepparton City Council and the Goulburn Valley Squash Club to present the 2017 Shepparton International Squash Championship.

This year’s event is the first of a new three year deal between the two organisations keeping the event in Shepparton until at least 2019 and it is hoped to add a women’s competition to the 2018 event.

To be held at the Shepparton squash courts on the city’s Archer Street from 23rd to 27th August, the PSA M5 event features a highly competitive field boasting players from 13 different countries.

Along with the top grade professional competition, a number of graded events will occur - open to players of all abilities - on the Saturday and Sunday, providing an opportunity for local players to shine.

Greater Shepparton City Council Deputy Mayor Kim O’Keeffe is looking forward to welcoming all participants, family and support teams to Shepparton, commenting “it’s fantastic to be hosting another world class event in Greater Shepparton and I hope all visitors enjoy their time here.

“This three year partnership continues to strengthen our reputation as the sporting event capital keeping the local economy strong and businesses busy.”
