Four squash players have beaten one record already as they continue today to smash their way through to their goal of helping their club set four new world records while raising funds for a club upgrade.

The Brewer boys – Logan, Braden and Chris, along with their good mate Hayden Revell are part way through a squash marathon at the Katikati Squash Club and are hoping the public will support them.

They started at 3am on Friday, and will play until 7pm tonight as they attempt the longest doubles squash game that's ever been played in the world.

The current world record for the longest doubles squash marathon is just over 38 hours and the four players are aiming for at least 40 hours.

On Friday night, they smashed the current world record for the longest doubles rally with a massive 4359 shots.

The club also broke the record on Friday night for the most number of people involved in a singles squash rally, with more than 60 participants or ‘squashies' joining them from all over the country.

This afternoon Glenn Templeton and Winona-Jo Joyce will be attempting to take another world record for the longest singles rally.

The reason for trying to set four new world records is because the club, which last year won ‘Bay of Plenty Club of the Year' is in dire need of upgrades with the next refurbishment project estimated to cost $60,000.

'At this club we've lost weight, gained fitness, learned a new sport, made some of our most fond and ‘darndest' memories, won championships, met new friends and partners, sang, cried, laughed, bled, sworn, shouted and cheered. All this for the sport we've grown to love,” say the four players on their Givealittle fundraiser page.

'Looking up at the honours board you'll see so many local heroes have played and worked their heart out for this club. Many non-Katikati members comment on how much of a community our club is and how much they feel welcome - the comradery, whanaungatanga (treating everyone like family), and manaakitanga (generosity) is strong here, and all this has been built from those local heroes including yourselves.”

The Katikati Squash Club came to life when a group of founding members hatched the idea over a beer in 1978. After much discussion and fundraising the building began in 1982. Five years after that first beer, it was finally opened on April 9 1983 by the patron Doug Baker, with a membership of 200.

The first tournament was held on May 10 1983, and in 2013 the club celebrated its 30th anniversary with second and third generation members continuing the club's legacy. There are approximately 130 active members with a mix of men, women and juniors of all levels.

'Katikati Squash Club has done so much for us, as well as for many of our members. Now it's our turn to give back. Really give back,” say the four players.

The Givealittle page also includes the plea for assistance from the local community to help with the fundraising.

'If we want this to be a huge success then we need you. All of you.”

So far 29 generous donors have given $4035.

'We want to fundraise a minimum of five figures,” say the players.

The players plan to keep playing at the Katikati Squash club until 7pm tonight and welcome anyone who wants to come down and cheer them on.

'We think we have bitten off more than we can chew, but we will keep chewing for as long as we can,” says Katikati Squash Club President Logan Brewer at the 34 hour mark.

All records are unofficial until verified in the coming months.
