Dear Friends,
It recently came to my attention that Max Smyth, a wonderful member and competitor, passed away late last year at the age of 87. Max participated in 42 VMSA tournaments throughout his time with the association and represented the Hawthorn Club, now known as Grace Park Hawthorn. I vividly recall the last VMSA match he played at the Victorian Masters Championships in Dromana in 2017. I had the privilege of refereeing his match against Syd Webb, which Max won in a hard-fought five-game contest. Our sincere condolences go to Max’s family, who often accompanied him to events over the years. Max will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
As we move through 2026, there is plenty happening within the VMSA. Our new website is now fully operational and offers many new features for members to explore. Michelle continues to manage the site and implement improvements to ensure it runs smoothly. As a result, online tournament entries and payments for social activities have become almost entirely paperless. I hope everyone is enjoying these improvements, as well as the excellent content being produced by Anil Joseph and his team at Worldwide Digital.
We have now completed the first two tournaments on this year’s calendar—Bairnsdale and the Victorian Championships at Mulgrave. Meanwhile, the Autumn pennant season is drawing to a close. Thank you to everyone who supported our events in Bairnsdale and Mulgrave and who continues to keep our pennant competition thriving. This was the first time Mulgrave has hosted a VMSA tournament, and the club has always been a strong supporter of both squash and the VMSA.
The World Masters Squash Championships in Perth are fast approaching and promise to be a fantastic event. For anyone planning to attend, it will be an experience not to be missed. Start saving your pennies and make sure you are part of the tournament action.
With winter just around the corner, the pennant season finals are also approaching. I would like to wish the very best of luck to all teams competing in the East and West Autumn Finals.
As for me, I'm currently sidelined with bad knees and not playing squash at the moment.
Yours in squash,
Lou Morsch
President – VMSA

Contact UsFeeling good about the road trip to Bairnsdale, there is a new President, Vikki Holland, and new energy at a club is always an important thing. We arrived to the luxury of having High-Country Hooch Distillery waiting for us to sample their products. Not only did they provide tastings, but they also came on board as a sponsor, which we are very grateful for. Thank you to Paul and Leanne—your gifts were our number one prize.
It was fantastic to see past players return to one of our tournaments. Geoff Ely and Stephen Spehre were two players we had not seen for many years, so it was wonderful to welcome them back. There were some outstanding matches played throughout the weekend, with many closely contested encounters.
