Unfortunately
due to the layout at the Dean I was not able to see 3 of tonight's
matches however Mike Wagner lost 0-3 in a match which I am told had a
couple of fairly close games whilst Harvey (the phone thief) Frew was
making his debut and also went down 0-3. Andrew Beames fought out a
close game at number 3 going down 1-3.
On court
1, Derek Addison was also making his debut. Despite trying to frighten
his opponent with his new tattoo's, only lack of experience defeated
Derek as he, like many of us, was still trying to play squash at crucial
times in the match and was unfortunate not to have won a couple of
games as he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for another 0-3
loss.
I was
next up at number 2 and inexplicably began to play homage to the absent
Christy by taking over his mantle of hitting the tin and gifting far too
many points to my opponent. Struggling to get to grips with the
extremely bouncy ball I proceeded to give my worst performance of the
season going down 0-3. Fortunately I now head off to an Italian training
camp for a week where I will try to boost my iron (red wine) and
carbohydrate (pasta) levels.
Mike
Gore was last on at 1 and saved a bit of dignity for the Grange with a
fine 3-0 victory. It was probably the best performance of the season
from Mike who found good length and tight boasts all night long.
Retiring
to the bar discussion centred round how to return the lost phone to a
stranger when you couldn't call him and that Mike Gore is probably the
only man in Scotland who cares about the Queen's Jubilee. Thanks again
to our local rivals for the hospitality which we look forward to
returning in August.
