New RulesUnder the altered rules, Squash 57 point 2 is a variation of the game, designed to suit as many people as possible. The game is played on a normal sized squash court using squash 57 racquets and a larger (57mm) double yellow dots ball - the slower the ball the better! The game is played by two people and the first to reach 11 points is the winner. If they are tied on 10 points the game continues until there is a two-point margin. There was great interest in the demonstration games at the club and it is hoped the slower game will attract even more players, and members, to the vibrant city club. EstablishedKilkenny Squash Club was first set up 56 years ago. Just over a year ago the club moved into new ‘home’ courts at Kilkenny College. The club accommodates all levels of skill, from beginners to the experienced.If you are interested in taking up the game, joining the club or for more information contact kilkennysquashclub@gmail.com — ABOVE: John Madden with Michaela Molloy, at Kilkenny Squash Club The visitors demonstrated how Squash 57 point 2 differs from the mainstream game, with the rule changes, and took on some of the local players.
