Racketball @ ESC on Wed Aug 29

Ian Green made his debut, suckered into playing #1 against Ross McHoul. It was 15-6 in the first two, then Ian started to get the hang of it and while Ross ran on to a 3-0 win, Ian had put him under some pressure and cut out him doing showboat shots.

Dave Grieve at #4 against Irvine, looked like he was going to have the final say in all the rallies early doors, but it did not turn out so. Irvine was full of movement and ground it out 3-0.

Rob Henry at #5 against Captain Croan, this game had everything, John doing behind-the-back and through the legs winners while Rob was rolling his wrist for fun on some tremendous winners.

John did well to get away with a 3-1.

Jordan was a bit out of sorts against Les and I would say the same for Christy against Eric Hogg. I'm sure if we had those matches back again, we'd flatter ourselves to think we'd do things differently but there's no escaping we were well beaten.

Onto the main event, Chicken curry with somosas followed by seconds, followed by some sweet delicacies. Talk turned to racketlon and how Les taught Ross McHoul everything he knows about racketball, especially serving from the hand ;-)

Thanks to all who gave racketball a go this season and looking forward to a good season of squash now.
