At #3, supersub Matt Pearson got outhit by Andrew Moab, playing a Grange Div 4 team for the 3rd time this season. At #4, Mike Gore was strangely off the pace against a steady Stuart Williamson 0-3. Gavin Fulton at #1 mixed it up with Stewart Morrison, good enough to take a game but Stewart had enough in reserve 1-3.
MotM was Andy Whitelaw who got the call that he was playing at 7:30 and duly showed up, fresh from his trip to Oman. Two games down in short order to blow away the cobwebs, Andy got well stuck in to take the third off Peter Western and was unlucky to be edged out 9-10 in the fourth.
We then enjoyed Phil McWilliams v John Grindley in a Div. 1 match that we were dragged away from at 2-2 for food. Talk in the bar turned to the blooding of the Grange 4 captain the previous night (see blog report below) and with Man Utd playing Braga, how Andy Whitelaw should have taken a dive when Peter Western was swatting away a crap shot in disgust and the follow through caught Andy on the forearm. Food was emergency pizzas.
Colinton 4's next week, we need to stop the rot against Eric, Mike Brown & the Williamsons.

Questions need to be asked of Andy Whitelaw's commitment.
Why was he out of the country during the squash season? Does he want to play, or just swan around the world playing when it suits him?
C'mon Andy, show some dedication to the cause.
Surely everyone knows not to leave the country between September and April.
I hate squash players taking skiing holidays with a passion. It always involves missing 2 weeks play, then another 3 weeks when they come back with crutches/plaster.
