The two players, Watts and Egan, both competed for the university’s BUCS team for squash. The players also competed in this year’s Roses competition, for which they helped to win a score of four-one for the Men’s 1st team.

Lancaster University Squash Society said: “A similar challenge had been attempted a few years ago, so I have decided (with Callum) to attempt it! We wanted to raise some money for a good cause too, so this was the perfect opportunity to do so! We are grateful for any support that we receive, and it is going to a great cause!”

For anyone wishing to donate, the GoFundMe can be accessed here.
