The “Lapham” now in its 94th consecutive year of play is the longest annual team contest of any sport in North American history. This occasion will mark the second time, since first played in 1977, that London Squash hosts this prestigious event. A local volunteer committee led by Lapham Chair Jay Nash and by Lapham Canadian Captain Lindsay Smith has been working diligently since late 2013 in preparation. For the first time in Lapham history live streaming of singles and doubles matches will be available to interested viewers at http://lg2015.polyscore.ca The Lapham is jointly administered by US Squash and by the Jesters Club of Canada on behalf of Squash Canada. The composition of both teams is attached.
