In the absence of our esteemed captain, and as a lowly member of the 5th Leage team (one who clearly should be playing 6th League after a sound thrashing from Phil Maxton) I will try to recollect the highlights of the match.
Shaun played first at No.2 against their No.1, and looked a little rusty to start, winning the first game 10-9. He then decided to play squash and very un-sportingly won the second 9-0 and the third 9-6 to win 3-0.
Trevor played next at No.1, and comfortably beat his opponent 9-2, 9-3 & 9-3, with some good straight power squash, and very little reverse angles.
Vivek played next winning 9-6, 9-3 and 10-8.
Finally yours truly, “Captain-My-Captain”, went on at No.4. Won the first two comfortably 9-1, 9-2, and then at 5-0 in the third, decided it was most un-sporting to thrash the Wits Students 16-0, and conceded a game 5-9. Fortunately I finished it off in the fourth 9-4 to win 3-1.
Result 16-1, followed by pizza & beer @ Nunos. Dopio Zero close their kitchen at 9:30 so that does not work
Match Result: 16-1
3rd LEAGUE vs Wits Univ
3rd LEAGUE vs Wits Univ
Opening match of the season we played Wits. They just beat us last year to get promoted to 3rd. We went to 3rd anyway as we got Francisco to play for us again this year.
Francisco ran Jacek ragged; Willem was happy as Jacek and Willem had a monster 5 setter last year, with Jacek narrowly winning.
Willem beat Byron 3-1, with some tense moments towards the end. It almost went to 5.
Gary beat Patrick 3-0, in spite of the marker (Jeff) feeling sorry for the underdog.
Jeff, (a sick Jeff weak from a stomach bug) managed to go 2 love up but then lost the next 3.
Match Result: 14-4
