Players in the dark at Warwick University Squash Festival

The four-day festival, which began on Wednesday, features 160 players, with Kenilworth Squash Club and LA Fitness Warwick taking part tomorrow afternoon.

The unique event, which will see matches played under ultraviolet light with fluorescent tape on the walls and on the rackets, will culminate in an exhibition match between the world number 12 Tom Richards and number 69 Charles Sharpes.

The festival aims to encourage participation across all ages and abilities and is part of the campaign to get the sport accepted into the 2020 Olympics.
