RBS started with 3 players tonight and finished with 2.
Ian Forbes and Christy were opponent-less but came down to support, referee and eat. They also played each other, refusing a referee but they report good clean squash and 3-1 to Ian.
Stokesy had a close run with Richard Maspero, 10-8 10-8 9-4.
All I saw of Patrick v Steven Hart was Steven flat out on the changing room floor. Patrick was 2-1 up, but Steven had retired with back trouble.
From 7-0 up, Al inexcusably lost 18 consecutive points. Eric repayed the mistake by calling set 1 in the 4th. The 5th went 9-7 to Al. Both were compared by Stokesy in the bar to the style of Rab McGill, if that helps you imagine it!
Overall 5-0 20 points to 5.
Chat in the bar strayed onto Real Tennis at the Grange and the forthcoming EGM. Richard and Eric rustled up pies and beans. We all retired on full stomachs, except Stokesy who threatened Patrick with a night on the tiles....
Let's hope RBS's injured players are back in action soon.
