HELMORES Estate Agents in Crediton are pleased to announce that they have chosen to sponsor Crediton Squash Club for the 2015/2016 season.

The club takes team squash to some of the highest levels in the county and runs three teams in the Devon Squash League, with their first team currently ranked third in Devon at the half-way stage in the season.

Phil Morgan, partner with Helmores, is a member of the squash club and represents Crediton in the Devon League.

When asked if Helmores wanted to be the club sponsor with advertising on the shirts and the "tins", he said it was a "no-brainer" as squash is the most popular racquet sport in the UK and Crediton are ranked the third best club in Devon, striving to be number one.

He said: “We designed everything in house, and even fitted the advertising on the squash courts ourselves and Rob Stoyle, co-partner, edited film to go with it in Helmores media and aerial film department.

Crediton Squash Club’s second team are currently second in their Devon Squash League and are one of the favourites for back-to-back promotions.

The third team are third in their league and only behind Newton Abbot on points difference and with promotion a distinct possibility.

Crediton Squash is an extremely popular squash club, which has more than 100 members and is based at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre, affiliated by England Squash.

The two glass-backed courts are some of the finest courts in Devon.

There is a club night on a Friday and squash coaching is provided by one of the Premier League players, Crediton based Ashley Knight.
