Happy new year to all our supporters, lurkers and commenters.
The 10 of us players were the only people around the squash courts at ESC at peak-time Thurs night. Either everyone else at the club was still recovering two weeks after hogmanay... or squash is in an even worse state than I feared.
#5 Mark Dutton played Sean Morgan and, a few dives aside, was in his comfort zone; 3-1. Russell at #4 in his last team match before departing for Canada played some sublime stuff against Richard Kent to end on a winning note; 3-0.
Patrick Langley at #2 got everything back against his hard-hitting opponent Graham Hunter 3-0. Peter Cockburn at #3 was too lively early-on for ex-Granger Roy Harley but Roy rescued a tight third game before Peter re-asserted himself in the fourth; 3-1.
Christy from the Irish Republic faced Michal Jilek from the Czech Republic at #1. He was outclassed by in the first two by Michal but the third was closely fought, still lost 0-3.
Overall 4-1, 15-5 to consolidate our #2 position on the leaderboard.
As usual, the pasta bake at ESC was scrumptious and the conversation surreal, ranging from the latest blockbuster films to hillwalking to "Saving Gazza". (report C.L.)

For the record, I didn't drop a game. It was Mr "I now play for the first team" Langley that made an arse of his third game.
Mea Culpa, Peter "I now play for the second team" C. The Alzheimer's really kicks when I let the weekend pass before I write a report.
