Fours home v Tyne 2's (Wed, Dec 9,'09)

Another good night's work from the revolving door Grange IV. Yet another changed team saw the IV's win at home to a competitive Tyne team 17-10.
Neil Love at #5 opened the night's matches with a relatively straightforward 3-0 defeat of South African Glenn. He was clearly in the mood to finish proceedings early to psyche himself up for his referee marker's test from Ron Pearman.
If ever their was a match not to mark it was Alan Stokes' #1 string game against Donald Smith. Needing only 6 right decisions out of 10 to satisfy the test he had reached the target within a game and half. Not only did Neil pass the test with flying colours (20 contentious calls) he also gave way to Raymond Jefferies who also passed in an often fractious match which Stokesey came through in 5.
On the other court Ian Forbes #2 had a competitive game against Raymond which whilst closely fought saw the Tyne man win in 4.
Pete Young played Chris at #3 and whilst they shared the opening games, Chris' cleaner hitting , particularly on the backhand saw him win through in 4.
This left Will Henderson at #4 to play Ian Dixon in the decider. Will was always on top and played good safe squash to win in 3.
The winning streak continues and hopefully we can see through to the end of the year in good form. A final league match on Friday 18th will inevitably be difficult to find 5 willing players but let' hope we can keep the run going.

Where's Christie?

Where's the Loobster?

Where's the man with the swing of Harold the Helicoptor?

I can't find any results for him in any teams recently. What's going on?

Ricardo, it is nice to be missed, even in a back-handed compliment type-of-way ;-).
I can only play Tue and Thurs, Karen has Mon & Wed nights for her squash/choir.
I played at Sports Club on Thurs 10th so the blade was whirring as usual before the pasta bake and chocolate gateau.
