backs Matthew v Selby ‘Back to Squash’ Exhibition Tour
On the day that squash courts reopen across England, sports and fitness
equipment specialist Sweatband.com has announced it is supporting the
Back to Squash Exhibition Tour, hosted by Nick Matthew OBE and Daryl
Selby.
As part of a concerted effort to support the sport, www.sweatband.com
will partner with British squash legends Nick Matthew OBE and Daryl
Selby for the exhibition tour, which will commence in September.
The Back to Squash Tour will be played in ten separate venues across the
country, scheduled to coincide with the start of the new squash season
and culminating the week before World Squash Day 2021.
The exhibition matches will be played out between Nick Matthew OBE and
Daryl Selby; Nick is the former World No.1 and multiple-time British and
World Open champion, while Daryl is former World No.9 and British
National champion.
Intimate venues will give spectators the chance to see two of Britain’s
most prestigious squash players up close and personal, who will interact
with the crowd as well as battle it out with each other.
There will be a limited number of tickets available for each leg of the
tour, and these can be purchased via the individual clubs.
As well as giving the squash community a chance to see two of Britain’s
greats do battle on the court, the Back to Squash Tour aims to get more
people involved at all levels of the sport.
Maz Darvish, CEO of sports and fitness equipment specialists

, said:
“Despite there being an estimated 200,000 people in the UK that play
squash every week, the sport still receives a disproportionate amount of
attention. The Back To Squash tour for us represents an opportunity to
support this fantastic sport, connect with the squash community and
inspire more people to take up the sport after visiting the clubs, all
while working alongside two legends of the game.”
Commenting on the tour, Daryl Selby said:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be involved in the Back to Squash Tour. The
last 12 months have been very difficult for everyone and especially us
squash lovers. So, with the help of the team at sweatband.com – who have
made this possible, myself and the legend that is Nick Matthew, will be
touring around 10 different clubs to help inspire people to pick up
their rackets again and get playing our beautiful game. Hope to see you
on court again soon.”
Adding to this, Nick Matthew OBE said:
“It’s great to be back on court again and buzzing to be doing battle
with my great rival Daryl Selby. It’s fantastic that sweatband.com is
involved and supporting the Back to Squash Tour and to help us get into
as many clubs as possible and get people playing squash again. The other
key point is the help of sweatband.com in bringing events that connect
with the UK squash community and bring clubs back to life after this
last year. Really looking forward to the dates in September.”
