Headin’ Home to Workout Harbourside – The Heart o’ Bristol Squash

We’ve dropped anchor at Workout Harbourside – a place steeped in Bristol’s proud squashin’ lore. Formerly known as Welshback Squash Club, it’s here our Buccaneers shall defend the Bristol coast, takin’ on worthy adversaries like the Coolhurst Cavaliers, Leamington Royals, and Chichester Centurions.


We be callin’ on all ye mates in Bristol to rally behind yer Buccaneers and fill the grandstand. Bring yer voices, yer spirits, and be ready to raise a racket as we set fire to the courts with every clash!



A Crew Connected by Bristol Blood

Our crew ain’t just a bunch o’ swashbucklers – we be bound by our ties to Bristol itself. Each of our players hails from UWE’s halls or has trained in these very waters. Captain John Welton himself handpicked this crew, sayin’, “Arrr, this team ain’t just about squash – it’s about Bristol pride, it’s about our roots, and it’s about sharin’ our passion with all ye fine folk!”


Before the Battle – A Chance fer the Young’uns

Before each home game, we be openin’ the decks to the young lads and lasses of Bristol! Our players will lead a junior coaching clinic, givin’ the next generation of Buccaneers a chance to learn from the best. Imagine it: yer own young pirates playin’ alongside the mighty Mohamed and the fierce Joelle. It’s a rare chance to catch the spirit o’ squash right here at home.


Bristol, Ready the Sails!

The winds be blowin’ our way, and the Buccaneers be ready to charge! With a lineup as fierce as any storm, we’ll be takin’ on the best, armed with Bristol spirit, grit, and a mighty dose of pirate pride. So, me hearties, mark yer calendars and prepare to cheer as we set forth on a journey that’ll make legends o’ us all.


Bristol, prepare to be the fortress where no one leaves unscathed. The Squash Super League be ours for the takin’, and the Buccaneers be ready. Are ye with us?


Arrrrr!
