WHO ARE THE BUCCANEERS?
The Bristol Buccaneers Squash Super League team has been formed to celebrate the rich history of world-class squash in the city of Bristol. In partnership with UWE’s squash program and Elitesquash, we’ve built the squad around UWE Alumni (including Mohamed El Shorbagy, Eain Yow, and Yousef Soliman, along with our legends), current UWE athletes (all under 25), and players with a special connection to the city (like Joelle and Tesni).

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS
Our goal is to bring live, world-class squash to both the city and our home base at Workout Harbourside, featuring players our squash community already knows and loves.
Workout Harbourside, once known as Welshback Squash Club, has a proud history of hosting great players on its iconic show court. UWE and Elitesquash have long been part of the former professional league PSL, with many all-time greats gracing our courts. Now, with the launch of the new SSL league, we’re introducing a fresh face—the Bristol Buccaneers! Our beautiful club, nestled along the river in the historic port city of Bristol, will be ready to snatch victory from our opponents.
