If you enjoy doubles tennis that feels competitive and consistent week to week, the Perrier Doubles League 2026 is one of the best formats on the calendar. It’s a league that builds as results come in, pairs find their rhythm, and every match night adds something to the table.
The idea is simple:
PICK YOUR PARTNER. PLAY YOUR LEVEL.
You enter as a pair, and your partner must be at the same playing level. That one rule does a lot of work — it keeps matches balanced, makes the league enjoyable across all groups, and means the standings reflect doubles teams who are properly matched.
A league format that rewards consistency
The Perrier Doubles League is played in groups, with a round-robin structure. That means you’re not out after one tough match — you’re playing through a schedule where momentum matters, and pairs who improve as the weeks go on can climb.
It’s also a format that suits doubles players who like:
a steady weekly routine
competitive matches without the pressure of a knockout from day one
a league table that feels earned, not random
When matches are played
Match nights are scheduled Monday to Thursday only, at either 7:00pm or 8:30pm. There are no fixtures on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, which makes it easier to plan ahead and keep the league moving without weekend disruption.
The organiser schedules the fixtures, and pairs may play once or twice per week depending on the group schedule.
Match rules (quick overview)
Matches are played as two normal sets, with a tie-break at 6–all. The deciding point is played on the 2nd deuce. If sets are split, the third set is a super tie-break to 10.
Entry fee and what’s included
The entry fee is €16 per player, and importantly, court fees and lights are included for scheduled fixtures.
For matches that are postponed at a player’s request, the court payment for the postponed match is at the expense of the player requesting the postponement.
Players shown on the left-hand side of the fixtures must provide new balls.
Postponements and availability
Life happens — but the league also needs to keep moving.
Postponements due to bad weather will be handled on tournament days indicated by the organiser.
Postponed matches (except those rained off) must be played within 10 days of the scheduled date, otherwise points will be forfeited by the player requesting the postponement.
The deadline for postponed matches is 26 July 2026 (or as otherwise stated by the organiser).
Unavailable dates declared on the application will be considered. If scheduling is not possible, any postponement will be at the expense of the organiser.
Key dates
League dates: 29 June – 26 July 2026
Closing date for entries: Sunday 21 June 2026
How to register
Applications can be submitted online via the Club website, and application forms are also available at Club Reception.
Marsa Sports Club has completed a major refurbishment of its squash facilities, with the Club now boasting five top-class squash courts for members and guests to enjoy. The project marks an important step forward for squash at Marsa, improving both the quality of play and the overall experience for everyone using the courts.
The refurbishment has been welcomed strongly by the squash community, and the Squash & Pickleball Section has highlighted the collective effort behind the project — from the Club’s investment and support, to the contribution of members and sponsors who helped make the works possible.
“The response from members to the renovated squash courts has been extremely positive, and we are very pleased with the final result and quality achieved. The Club now boasts five top-class squash courts for our members and guests to enjoy.
When the new Squash Section was formed last year, the renovation of the squash courts was identified as our top priority. This was a significant investment by the Club, and we are especially grateful to our passionate squash members who helped us secure sponsors whose contributions funded a substantial part of the project.
We sincerely thank the Club Committee of Management for supporting this initiative, as well as Club Secretary Mr Dermot Galea and the Club employees involved throughout the process. Special thanks also go to my colleagues within the Squash Section, particularly Mr Peter Wirth and Mr Mark Zammit, for their commitment and hard work in helping make this project a success.
We are equally grateful to COURTWALL for the professional manner in which the renovation works were carried out.
Last but certainly not least, we would like to thank all the sponsors who helped make this project possible: Solidbase Laboratory Ltd, Camilleri & Cuschieri Engineering Consultants, HPM Pjazza Merkanti, Falcotrans Ltd, Horizon Projects, George Borg Ltd, db SG Hotel Ltd, Malta Squash, Luxfair Group, Grixti Mobili Ltd, Legligin Ltd, Soundmachine Ltd, Miracle Foods Ltd, and J. Micallef Service Station Ltd.
On 20th June, the Squash Section will holding he first tournament to be played on the renovated courts, followed by a BBQ celebration together with the sponsors and supporters who contributed towards this successful project.”
Robert Sultana Chairman, Squash & Pickleball Section Marsa Sports Club
If you’re in the mood for a night that actually feels like summer, MSC Summer Party ’26 is the one to put in the calendar.
After last year’s great turnout, we’re doing it again — bringing the music, the atmosphere, and the kind of Friday night that starts with a welcome drink and ends with the DJ still going strong.
The night in a nutshell
🗓️ Friday 26 June 2026
🕗 Doors open: 8PM
🎸 The Sleeper and Friends (Live)
🎧 DJ set by DJ Gringo
You’ll get finger food and a welcome drink, then it’s straight into the live set before the night shifts gears into DJ mode — the perfect mix of “good vibes early” and “proper party later”.
Dress code: Summer Casual Chic
Nothing complicated — think summer-ready, clean and comfortable, and ready to move once the band kicks off.
Adults only (18+)
This is an adults-only night, built for a proper Friday out at the Club.
Marsa Sports Club hosted a fantastic two-day Women’s Softball Cricket Festival, welcoming 14 teams for a busy schedule of social competition, strong performances, and a great atmosphere throughout the event.

At the end of the festival, the top three places were:
Winners:Shaw CC
Runners-up:BPCC B
3rd Place:New Mills Bongo Bandits

We look forward to welcoming teams back to Marsa for future editions of the festival.
The Grixti Mobili Team Squash Tournament takes place on Saturday 20 June 2026 at Marsa Sports Club, running from 12:00 to 18:00. It’s a one-day event designed to bring players together in a team format — competitive, well organised, and open to a wide range of playing levels.
A team tournament you can enter on your own
One of the best parts of this event is that you don’t need to arrive with a team. Players enter individually and teams will be created on the day, with the focus on balanced match-ups and an enjoyable afternoon of squash.
That makes it ideal for:
players who want competitive matches without needing a fixed partner or squad
players returning to tournament play
newer players looking for a structured, supportive competitive environment
experienced players who enjoy a fast, team-based format
Open to all levels — from beginners to advanced players
The tournament is open to all standards, from beginners to advanced players. When you register, you’ll be asked to indicate your playing level so that teams can be put together in a way that keeps matches fair and enjoyable.
Members and non-members welcome
This event is open to both Marsa Sports Club members and non-members, making it a good opportunity to bring in friends or visiting players who want to take part.
Entry fees and registration deadline
€10 – MSC Members & Juniors
€20 – Non-members
Registrations close: Wednesday 17 June 2026
Places are managed via registration, so it’s best to secure your entry before the closing date.
Thank you to Grixti Mobili
A sincere thank you to Grixti Mobili for supporting this tournament and helping the Club deliver squash events at a consistently high standard.

The Yonex Men & Ladies Team Tournament 2026 is back on the calendar — a team competition built around five match nights where results add up, the standings take shape week by week, and everything builds towards the final night.
What makes this tournament different is the team structure. Each team is made up of both men and ladies, but matches are kept separate: men play men and ladies play ladies — with both results contributing to the same overall team standings. It keeps the format clear on court while still making it a full team event.
Five match nights that build towards the final
The tournament is played on five dates:
4 June 2026
11 June 2026
18 June 2026
25 June 2026
2 July 2026
If postponements are required, the final round will be moved to 9 July 2026.
Match nights run in two sessions:
Ladies’ matches at 7:00pm
Men’s matches at 8:30pm
Round robin format: every match matters
The tournament is run on a round robin basis, with five teams taking part. Each week, one team has a rest, and the league format ensures the table develops gradually over the tournament rather than being decided by a single early result.
Because it’s round robin, teams have time to settle into the competition, and the focus stays on consistency across the match nights.
Availability and commitments
To help scheduling, each player is allowed up to two unavailable dates, which must be clearly stated on the entry form. Players are expected to be available through to the end of the tournament, so if there is any uncertainty around availability, participants are encouraged to speak to the organiser before entering.
Finals night and presentation
Finals night will be immediately followed by the presentation and barbeque dinner, making it a proper closing to the tournament.
Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd placed teams.
Entry details
Entry fee: €14
Open to paid-up Tennis & Padel Section members
Juniors aged 14+ may participate
Players are expected to have adequate knowledge of the game, previous match experience, can serve consistently, and keep a rally going
Payment can be made online or by cash or card at Marsa Sports Club Reception
If you’re planning to take part, make sure your unavailable dates are confirmed early and listed clearly on the entry form, so the round can be scheduled smoothly from the start.
This year’s Easter Egg Hunt in Malta at Marsa Sports Club was a fantastic success, with a great turnout and a brilliant atmosphere across the Club.
From the moment families arrived, the morning had a real buzz to it — children straight into the action, parents settled in, and the Club full of energy. The bubble show was a major highlight, the games kept everyone moving, and of course the Easter egg hunt delivered the excitement it always does — with plenty of eager little runners determined to find every last egg.
Events like an Easter egg hunt only work when the organisation on the day is solid, and when there’s a good team behind it. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the morning run smoothly and feel effortless for families.
Thank you
A sincere thank you to Jump Malta and Animator Malta for helping make the event such an enjoyable experience for the children and for adding to the overall programme on the day.
We would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the event and the Marsa Sports Club Events Committee for their continued work in delivering family events at the Club.
If you’re looking out for a family-friendly Easter egg hunt in Malta, we look forward to welcoming you back to Marsa Sports Club for the next one.
The Marsa Sure Padel League is back with Round 4, starting on 11 May 2026. If you enjoy league padel with proper structure, competitive divisions, and promotion and relegation on the line, this round is now open for entries.
This is a members-only league and players choose their partner, so it’s a great chance to plan your pairing, enter your division, and play your way through the round as the standings take shape.
What makes the league format work
One of the reasons the Marsa Sure Padel League continues to be popular is that it’s built around consistency. You’re not entering for a one-off match — you’re committing to a round where results add up and every match has a purpose.
Teams are placed into divisions by level, and each division is run on a round-robin basis. That means you play all other teams in your division, which keeps the round fair and creates the kind of progression that league players enjoy: you can build momentum, recover from an early loss, and improve your position with each match.
Promotion and relegation keeps it competitive
Round 4 includes promotion and relegation, which adds a real edge to every division:
Top 2 teams in each division are promoted
Bottom 2 teams are relegated
It’s a simple structure that keeps matches meaningful throughout the round — whether you’re pushing for promotion or fighting to stay in your division.
Match format
Matches are played as best of 3 sets. If it goes to a third set, it will be decided by a 10-point match tie-break.
Key details
Starts: 11 May 2026
Closing date to apply: 04 May 2026
Entry fee: €10 per person
Eligibility: Marsa Sports Club members only (minimum age 14)
