A tough night against the the younger generation, who actually seemed quite fit, despite their boozing and partying!
Pete C got off to a good start against Rick Keating, then got blitzed in the next two as Rick foumd the pace of the courts. Pete upped the aggression in the 4th and came close, but finally went down 10-8 (1-3). Mike Scott found Pete Brierley too steady in the first two, but came back strongly to take the 3rd 9-1. Unfortunately Pete regained his composure to close out in the 4th (1-3).
Dougie could see a potential granny after the first against Ben from Jersey, but competed better in the next two including a big lead in the third, but couldn't finish it off (0-3). Alan competed in a lot of rallies against Henry Pearce and was in all three games, but again the younger man prevailed (0-3).
Rob was up against a bit of a star in Ben Carpenter at 1, who admitted afterwards to playing his best game of the season. Great deception and some impossible boasts. Rob didn't play his best, but then Ben didn't let him get into the game (0-3).
Overall a convincing loss (4-20) against definite promotion contenders. Their club seems a bit like Grange - membership up from 35 to 110 in two years and very competitive. Maybe squash really has turned the corner?
Afterwards they were salivating over the Francos pizzas, the San Miguel was flowing and the kitty went into deficit! (DB)
