AMERICAN SQUASH-WOLVES IN LONDON
Nash Cup, September
26-28
Remember the classic film? The American backpackers are
attacked by a werewolf in the Yorkshire moors, killing one and turning the
survivor into a werewolf himself. Every full moon, he would transform into the
creature and go hunting for victims through the streets of London. Similarly,
we have all been bitten by the dreaded “squash-wolf”, which is a darn sight
worse since we don’t have to wait for full moons to morph into beer-thirsty,
racquet swinging fiends, searching for drinks and hungry for victory. We are
like that permanently.
Now is your chance to take that hankering to the quaint
little village of London and unleash your inner beast upon the local
population. The “Nash Cup” is ready to
accept your presence for their ever more popular annual squash tournament. It
is scheduled for the weekend of September 26-28, which – in case you haven’t
been keeping up with the DAC calendar – is the same time as the
“Back-to-the-Club Night” party. Now I know that it is tough to compete with our
biggest bash of the year, but if you are so inclined to join me in London, it
would be a fantastic chance to not only play some very tough squash and gain a
ton of experience in the process, but you will also get the opportunity to
watch the professionals and learn even more! That pro men and women! It would also be a chance to let your hair down (grow)
and attack the neighboring establishments.
Going from past years, the standard at this event is very
high. You have a number of categories to choose from:
You will definitely need to bring your ‘A’ game, your
animalistic determination to do well at this event. Squash-wise that is.
Party-wise, I think we should have that covered! And party at this tournament
is almost a requirement of entry. The women’s pro final will be scheduled for
the Friday night (Sept. 26th) and the men’s pro final for the
Saturday night, beer pong tables will be set up, you will be hard pressed not
to enjoy yourself. All for a $70 CAD entry fee. Bargain.

. The deadline to enter is September 21. Ready to be an American Squash-Wolf”? This
is a weekend you should absolutely sink your teeth into. Don’t make me the only
DAC representative. (The lone wolf…!)

This is Jed, If I had one question for MOHAMED EL SHORBAGY, it would be "Obviously you have heard of the 2016 Blue Chips, they may have been a bit of a Shooting star (rising to extreme glory quick and then calling it a career) if you will, but do you think they were the greatest doubles duo ever formed?"
Ryan here, if I had a follow up question to Jed's, it would be "I know that you are not a doubles player, but If given a 5 point lead in each game, could you and your brother, Marwan have taken 2 games off of The Blue Chips at their peak in 2016?"
Thanks for your time,
JEDCO

I never heard of the Blue Chips. I'm not sure why some random, unknown 2016 doubles team is relevant to the topic of DAC Boasters.
Thank you for your message.
P.S. JEDCO is #1

I also appreciate the fact that they use sustainable materials in their products, which is a big plus in my book. It's always great to see companies taking steps towards reducing their environmental impact.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Shreeji Woodcraft to anyone looking for high-quality squash court flooring in India. Keep up the great work!
