Grange II home v Dalgety Bay II (Tue, Oct 14, 08)

Our opponents kindly let us know there would only be 4 of them coming across the bridge so Michael Scott stepped up to his new ladder position at #4 against Dave. His speed and touch saw him dominate the first game but Dave soon showed he was no slouch to take the second. Michael took the third but was rushing his shots, losing the fourth in a jiffy. Michael got a good start in the fifth to close it out 3-2.
Tony Gribben at #2 cruised through taking the first 2 games off Gerry Gemmell, fortunes then swung the other way to make it 2-2 before Tony rasserted himself in the fifth: 3-2. Alan Stokes faced his usual Dalgety opponent in Colin Boswell, used the first to warm up as usual before asserting himself in the second, a battle ensued with Boswell chasing down Stokesy's best shots, Alan just held on to shade the next 2: 3-1. Quote of the night from Colin: "There was too much squash in that match for me".
Robert Pfab debuted against Gerry Burton at #1. When Gerry cross-courted, Robert won. When Robert traded shots, Gerry won. 2-2, Gerry pulled out a few magic kills and took it: 2-3.

Overall 4-1, 19-10 on points to make up for last week's poor points.
