The first ever Lincoln Open Graded Racketball tournament was held at Lindum Squash Club over the weekend of 26th/27th April.
Organised by Lindum Squash Club, with Phil Hiatt as Tournament Director, the event was a great success, even though entries in some categories were a little disappointing.
There was some excellent racketball played, with entries from all over the country. The first matches started at 10am on Saturday and continued right through to the finals and presentations at 2pm on Sunday.
