6thLeague “A”(Absolutely Awesome) vs OldParks

John went on first against an ex-Chamber player, Cheyna Tucker (who played for us when she was about 10). After a scare in the first, the 30 year experience gap paid off with lobs, drops and boasts winning the next three – but hardly comfortably. I’d hate to play her in a couple of years time. 3-1 win.


Ron on next, nervously went on court after reminiscing about his last abysmal showing. A quick 3 games later dispelled any doubts over Ron’s quality.


Gavin B started strongly in the first, reaching 8 easily but then forgot to win the 9th. In the second he did the same and lost 10-9. With the crowd baying for victory, Gavin pulled himself toward himself and won the next 2. In the motivational words of Ron – “if we have to suffer through another game of this, at least win it”. Gavin duly obliged although nearly losing it again from 8-3 up. 3-2 win.


It was left to our Captain Richard to round off the night in an entertaining game against an opponent who did his best to sledge Richard out of the match – but Rich was having none of it. 3-1 win


PS. Squash lesson no 154– never rely onyour team-mates to give you sensible advice when you need it most.
