Georgie does The Grange proud

Congrats Georgina Jamieson of The Grange Squash, winning 3 of her 4 matches (all against men) in the B grade at Abercorn,
beaten only by eventual winner Artiz Azpetia, a two-fisted left-handed speedster (in case you thought Christy was the most unconventional opponent in the world).
    And that was after she played out a five-game mini-league on Sun morning against Gorzer, by way of warm-up.

Stags Sevens sink the good ship Lloyds: salvage required

Cruising through Edinburgh, the good ship Lloyds SRC was sunk early on by salvos from ex-Lloyds player Tom McEwan, Christy, Duncan Walker and Allan Wallace.

6. Christy "Windmill" Looby bt James Owen 9/6 8/9 9/7 1/9 9/5

Jump circuit has given him unfeasibly large thighs... Picasso used to draw his subjects in a similar style.
