The first game after the Christmas/New Year break
saw us entertain Abercorn 2 at the Grange in a reverse fixture of the opening
game of the season.
Abercorn 2 are having somewhat of a transition
season and are still looking for their first win.
First up against a much changed Abercorn line up were
myself and Dave Grieve playing 5 & 3 respectively. I was playing Adam
Robinson and I was always in control of this match and won the rubber 3-0, 9-3,
9-1, 9-1. Dave had a straight forward 3-0 win against Steven Robb winning 9-3,
9-7, 9-1.
Next up was Rocco Pannozzo and Tom McEwan playing
at numbers 2 & 4. Tom had a comfortable win over Peter O’Connor with a 3-0 score
line of 9-2, 9-2, 9-6. On the other court Rocco was playing Neelu Sarker, Rocco
won this match 3-0 with a score line of 9-6, 9-2, 9-5, with Neelu providing the
highlight of the match by playing an exquisite drop shot from behind his legs.
Jamie was last up playing Bernard a man nearly twice
is age at number 1. Jamie was quickly 2 sets up when, with a combination off Jamie
playing everything back to Bernard’s racquet and Bernard hitting everything
that came his way before the ball had a chance to bounce saw Bernard taking the
third set from a losing position. With the pizzas ordered a collective sigh
could be heard from the viewing gallery. Jamie restored order in the 4th
set and took the match 3-1, with a score line of 9-2, 9-3, 8-10, 9-2.
Match results including ref points was 20-1 to Grange
4. We then retired to the bar for the usual delights of Franco’s Pizzas and
soft drinks. Not sure if our change in drinking habits is down to the desire to
be leaner, meaner squash players or the result of a recent change in the in the
drink driving laws.
