Grange Ladies First Team Review

At the half way stage of this league, Grange Ladies first team are sitting very comfortably in 4th Place (out of 6 teams). I’d like to say that this feat was the result of the team players squash improving week on week and maybe it is but it is also down to the fact that a certain man has a very sore foot which prevents him from playing football on a Monday night.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, and so, Donna, our #1, has played every game so far in this league, which means that we have been at full strength for every game so far. Get better soon TonyJ

It also helps when your newest player can also do some serious damage with a squash ball and has already earned her #3 slot in the team – a big hello to Catherine.

The Firsts hosted CLASS88 on Mon 21st. We were hoping to pick up points at three, four and five so it was a very pleasant surprise when Lottie, our #2, played some awesome squash to beat Sam Fearnley 3:2. Donna also played really well and again managed to take a game off a somewhat perplexed Kim Byers, the third time Donna has done this in their meetings. Kim’s superior fitness told in the end and she won 3:1. To note - Kim is the third highest ranked woman in East of Scotland, behind the two Macfie sisters.

Final score on the night was 16:5 to us, excluding bonus points. A very good night for Grange, who are now in 3^rd place in the league. Finally, our thanks to our growing number of supporters who make the trek all the way from the bar to the squash balcony to watch our matches, much appreciated.J Report: Karen
