If St George’s Hill Squash Club lift the Premier Squash League title in May then the Lee family will be celebrating more than most.
Team manager Danny Lee has led his team – featuring sons Joe and Charlie – to a sold-out semi-final clash with Coolhurst at the Weybridge club on May 5 as they bid to reach the final on May 13.
Lee senior is a former British U19 champion and once captained St George’s Hill to a runners-up finish in the Cannons National League in 1985.
Eldest son Joe, who has won four of his eight matches in the PSL this season, is also a former British U19 title holder and is currently ranked 40th in the world.
Youngest son Charlie, not in the squad for next month’s semi-final, has kept up the family tradition by winning the British U17 boys title recently and is the youngest player at 16 to play in the world’s strongest squash league.
Walton-on-Thames’s England international Tom Richards and Kingston 23-year-old Charles Sharpes, who reached the semi-finals of the Open De Paris earlier this month, are also in Lee’s squad to face Coolhurst.
