Sadly one of the 4 was carrying a dodgy back so Anna went down in 3. Georgina (not Scottish) loved playing in the sauna-esque conditions - helped to sweat out some of the wine consumed in Paris at the weekend, but the native Celts struggled in the heat: Donna looked grey walking off court (heat + 5 games + lots of running = Grey Donna). It was so hot that Karen was driving perfect lengths on her backhand! Sadly, lobbing it to the back wall wasn't so effective...
Supper was served in the fab new Swedish holiday home, with excellent views of the tennis courts. Baked potatoes with lots of protein fillings and some green decoration followed by mini doughnuts (yum) and Rolo biscuits (yum too).
Final scores were 16:9 to the others (inc ref points), and our first loss of the season. Fortunately we are now 40 points ahead of Watsonians, who had a bye tonight. They have two games left and we have one, so we can't be caught......thank you Kim and 2 more ref points.
Ponder moment: When was the last time Grange Ladies won the First Division??

The answer to your ponder challenge is here, should you choose to accept it
Hmmmm. Strange result and stranger report. Can't be many players who aren't carrying some sort of injury or other.
Dr Squash
To save the rest of ye from trawling through far too many clicks to see each year's result, the answer is NEVER!!! The best the Ladies have done, in 37 years is 3rd, in 1986/87.
In response to the curious doctor: Strange results happen when your nos 2 and 3 both injure their knees and actually listen to medical advice and refrain from playing squash until better. Tis true that many of us play with dodgy backs but sometimes perhaps we should listen to our bodies, and not play.
