FIRST TIME EVER! History made for Tipperary as McLoughney clinches incredible Munster title

In an electrifying display of skill and determination, 27-year-old Karl McLoughney from Thurles clinched the Munster Squash Championship title this past weekend at Highfield Squash Club in Cork City.

This victory marks a historic milestone as it is the first time that a Tipperary player has ever secured the Munster title.
“His dedication and hard work over the years have truly paid off,” noted club coach Gerry Connaughton, following Karl’s comprehensive win in the final against local Highfield member Martin Joseph McDonnell.

Connaughton’s commendation also highlighted Karl’s relentless commitment, which has earned him a high national ranking.
Although Karl now resides in Denmark - working remotely for Thurles-based fitness equipment company RPM Power - he continues to sharpen his game by training at a local club in Aarhus, home to some of Denmark’s best squash players.

Thurles Squash Club are delighted and proud after Karl’s unique success.
