Always feel sorry for the keeper in that. It's pretty big here. France seem to keep winning things though
Down to that Thierry chap no doubt...

Squash - for those who cannot afford a racquet?

Oh I don't play it myself, would be terribly sore on the hands I assume.
I used to play squash, enjoyed it. Naturally I was excellent and won trophies for same.

I played during my teenage years when I had boundless energy and would play most sports.
Terribly hard work on the ankles and knees, I found.

Fives is good. Same thing, but you get gloves. Pretty sure they only play it at public schools, though.

We had a handball alley in our school though it was rarely if ever used for that sport. Tended to be a place for either football or smoking when the other smoking place was full.

Yes, our fives courts were a couple of rugger pitches away from the main school behind the Duke of Edinburgh building, so it, too, was a good place to smoke and drink.

Yes, we never had a Duke of Edinburgh building. It was just a side wall.
