The club’s vice president Kevin Mist said: “One of the guys challenged her to a game.

“It’s been brilliant having her here. It’s the Prime Minister’s third visit. She’s come as an MP, as home secretary and as Prime Minister. She’s been a constant supporter of her local sports club and we’re pleased she’s spared the time to see the refurbishment to the squash courts.”

The Prime Minister’s Cup

The Prime Minister has also donated a cup which the Berkshire County Sports Club will present to one of its members at its AGM next June.
