Ladies wrap it up at Waverley, L2's go down fighting

The first ladies of squash beat Waverley 3:2 earlier this evening. Too many 5 setter games in one week for Donna left her a tad wooden tonight but it was worth it to win the Grange Over 40s tournament - (she has only recently been eligible to compete). However there is another week of games to play in this league so we will quietly celebrate until the final ball has been whacked before we start shouting from the Grange's upper terraces WE'VE WON!!!!!!!!!!

There is the small matter of a play-off between ourselves and CLASS.88, who won the Oct -Xmas league (beating Grange by 1 lousy point. Even if we had been level on points, we would have won on games difference), before we can claim the title of Supreme Champions of the 2011-12 season. Does this merit a picture on the staircase??

Our Ladies seconds got to a good start againstt Tyne - #5 Caroline was able to serve into the stratosphere at Accies courts and won for the loss of 1 rally. Ale Stewart was looking good at 2-0 but Tyne #4 Maureen Pearman has bee playing squash for nigh on 50 years and in turn put the ball high in the sky to expose Alex's backhand volley: 2-3. Jo Petty and Karen Kennedy at #3 and #1 were outclassed. Dawn MacBrayne played out of her skin to beat Maureen Pearman 3-1.
