Grange 3 @ Heriot Watt 2 Wednesday 02.12.09

With Grange suffering a few call offs this week and the students fielding a full team, this looked like it might be a tough one.

Neil Love stepped in at the last minute - it was a closely matched game, but not reflected in the final scoreline 0-3.
Ian Forbes and Richard Gordon played impressive squash on the glass court, both men forcing the other to retrieve from all corners. Ian remained ahead throughout, but a diagonal sprint and glancing collision spelled the end of fluid court coverage for Richard. Ian took it 3-1.
Alan Stokes played a David and Goliath match against Henry at 3. Another tight one, but Alan being David won 3-0.
Dougie was next in the fish tank and exhibited text book accuracy. Colin Gray fought hard, but had no answer in the end. Dougie winning 3-1.
Al's game was transformed by a new racquet (Titan GTi highly recommended) leading to a 3-0 win against Michael Ross to give an overall result of 4-1 and 17-5.

There was a good buzz with 2 student teams playing. We also had a special appearance from John Graham. Burgers in the union were just the ticket, but for the first time in 30 years, Stokesy passed on the hospitality and slipped away early. There are rumours of a woman - a possible explanation for the 2 losses before tonight...?
