The season isn’t quite over, but we’re delighted to share that the SAC team has finished 4th in its pool in the 2nd Île-de-France division — a fantastic achievement! A big congratulations to all the players for their commitment, team spirit, and the excellent level of squash displayed throughout the season. SAC Squash continues to strengthen its reputation as a respected club in Île-de-France.
We are also very grateful for the support we receive, particularly from staff members who kindly stay late on Tuesday evenings to make our matches possible. It’s always a pleasure to witness competitive play combined with excellent sportsmanship and friendly hosting, with access to food and drinks afterwards.
