Up first at 5 was moi who managed to lose 10:9 in both games 3 and 4. The luck of the Irish was sadly absent tonight so a 3:1 win to ESC. Lottie used the first game to warm up and then got down to some great squash, beating her opponent 3:1. Georgie was on fine form too - shows what you can do when you play 7 days a week - and beat a very canny Moira 3:0. Catherine had an almighty battle at #2 against Julie B who dug in and refused to give up, winning the last two games 10:8 each. Nae luck with tie-breakers tonight.
So, everything hinged on Donna v Kirsty Craig. This was a great game to watch, some fantastic smashes and boasts, along with some dodgy elephant impersonations from Donna. This turned out to be a game of swings and roundabouts with each player taking turns to play some great squash. So, as predicted by Donna, it went to down to the final game. This is when being in your 20s really helps....Kirsty remembered what to do and powered her way through the fifth game. An ashen-faced Donna had very little left in the tank and far too quickly lost the final game. The annoying thing is that overall we won more games than Sports club but that shows what well matched games were played.
Final match points were 13:11 to Sports Club. Supper was fab - baked potatoes with about 10 fillings. We are so looking forward to home advantage when they visit us after xmas. (Karen)
