2026 Racketball Club Championships Draw

A huge thank you for signing up to the FSC Club Racketball Championships – it’s fantastic to see so much interest. The last event was held in 2018, so it’s great to bring it back!

With 18 players in the Open draw, a Women’s Final, and five doubles pairings, it’s shaping up to be a brilliant event. Prizes are being supplied by Karakal!

Open Singles Draw

As we had 18 entries, two preliminary matches are required. These were randomly drawn:

Matt Tamblyn vs Red Sterry
Chris Lea vs Mike McCabe

Please can these be played over the weekend or before the Last 16 on Monday evening.

Winners progress into the main draw
Losers move into the Plate competition

For all other players, your first-round matches take place on Monday 23rd February . The draw is enclosed in this email. The draw has been created largely at random, with a small number of seedings. Start times are included – please stick to them where possible, though we appreciate everyone has busy schedules.

If you need to rearrange a match, it must be completed before the Quarter-Finals on Thursday 26th February .

Win your first match → Progress to the Main Draw
