Grange 3 v Dalgety Bay 3 ..Thurday 19th Feb 2009

Another great result for Grange 3, beating Dalgety Bay 3 by 20 points to 5.

In the opener at No 5 Jonathan Frame took on Sandy Lax and comfortably won the first. Jonathan went walkabout a bit in the second but resumed his composure and walked off with the next two being relatively untroubled on the way. 3-1

In the unaccustomed heady heights at No 3, Mark Dutton ran up against a very handy touch player in Graham Small. A hard fought first game went Mark's way 10-8 and he gradually overpowered Graham in the next two to win well, aided in particular by Graham's deep discomfort with the insane mixture of serves coming at him from all angles and all speeds.

At No 4, last week's new recruit Richard Van Lienden gave a near exact replica performance in coming out very slowly but then gradually getting on with it to win easily against the young and quite handy Steven Literacki. The first game was lost 8-10 with the tables being completely turned by the fourth game with a 9-0 finish. 3-1

At No2 Christy Looby was always well in control of the match against Paul Jukes winning the first two games with the loss of only two points. Paul changed racquets and squash brains for the third game and put Christy under a lot of pressure to take one back, but normality returned in the fourth. 3-1

To finish the night at No 1, Dougie Brown took on Ken Clements. Dougie was very much in control throughout and was untroubled to close it out 3-0.

Next week...the big one versus our Waverley competition for second place.

Well done guys!

20 points. Can't ask for more.

Just noticed that Wavery 4s have jumped above to take the 2 nd spot in the league. Will need to make sure when we go down there that we give them a good shoeing!
