Seconds home v Colinton Muscles (Thurs Feb 7,08)

At #4, Mark Dutton went one down to John Hamilton, levelled it 9-7 but then John took command, played some real early ball and won the next 2 without Mark doing anything particularly loose.
At #3, Peter Cockburn was on the warm court with Derek Wilson, it went point-for-point, game-for-game and Peter was the last man standing to take it 3-2, 9-7 in the fifth.
At #5, Ian Sinclair was on the cooler court but Hamish Williamson battled back from a fast Sinclair start before Ian tightened up to take the last two; 3-1.


Gerald Suggett at #2 against Tricky Ricky Easton had a very intense match, Gerald gave the guy as good a test as I've seen anyone at Grange do and won the first, keenly contested the other three but Ricky was playing deft drops from the back and unreadable drives from the front; 1-3.


The bonus points were up for grabs and Christy got the first game but turned petulant and got out-retrieved and out-shot by Colin Grant to lose 1-3.

Overall 2-3, 9-16 on points. A keenly contested tie with some good chat over pizzas afterwards with the opposition. Next week sees us visit The Pleasance on Thurs 7pm in a change to the advertised program.

My advice to all visiting teams to the Pleasance is to turn away from the squash courts and look in the opposite direction.

My team did this very well a couple of months ago. We were absolutely thrashed but had a great evening.

And after all of this, we went for beers and food.

I really don't see how any team can focus on the game at the Pleasance these days.
