Stephen Davey got on court with the vastly more experienced #5 Jerry Ireson and played the longest 3 setter I've ever seen. Close games and long rallies, well done our third team tryo.
John Bain played Tynes's hammering #3 Nigel Pearman who threatened to burst the ball with ever crushing blow from his racket. 0-3.
Ian Sinclair kept the crowd entertained with some great lobs and flicks. Their #4 Raymond however traded his own winners and it went 2-2. Lack of match practice saw Ian run out of steam; 2-3.
The tie lost, Stokesy went into exhibition mode with Graham Morrison who, unlike Dave Jubb, was still full of running after taking the Grange Open "B plate" on Sun. Alan took the first and Graham had to edge 3 very tight games of terrific squash.
Overall we lost 1-4 and proceed to the O35 plate.
Man of the Match: Christy (self-awarded ;-)

Dean have requested that we play the plate match on Jan 9 or thereabouts.
I'd like to nominate anyone apart from Christy as the man of the match.
Just because you organise the team, play in the team, cook the food and write the report doesn't entitle you to this award.
You forgot that he also organises the O35 competition for the 12 teams in it.
