Grange 3 v Waverley 3 Thurs 19.11.09

Grange 3 continued on their winning streak tonight.

5. Christy played Donald Shearer, who had a remarkable talent for reading the Looby game and multiplicity of angles. Better than I could from the balcony anyway. Reading it wasn't enough though, he still had to get there, which eventually wore him down. 3-0 to Christy.

4. Andy Whitelaw played Richard Nettleton, dropped the first game, but came through 3-1 in convincing style.

3. Stokesy v the young David Munro was hard fought in all departments. 6 referees were required to complete the match. Al took first stint before having to play his own game and 4 others declined to take over before Richard Nettleton stepped forward to take the flak! The squash itself was exemplary though, with Alan taking the first 2, working David to all corners and near matching the youngster for court coverage and pace. David made a strong comeback in the 3rd and 4th and took the 5th 9-5. A point dropped, 2-3 to Grange. (Perhaps Alan could invite his students for a practical demonstration of the rules next week...?!)

2. Al got a class opponent in Damien Noade who played a great rallying game. Long evenly matched games slipped Al's way, 3-0.

1. Patrick was all guns blazing against Scott Gibson. The moustache also in good Village People form, showing healthy growth since Tuesday. 3-0.

Alan Ramsay also made an appearance as injured Waverley team mate.

Overall 4-1, 19-4 on points, which keeps us top of the table.

Man of the match without a doubt goes to Rocco. Non playing on this occasion, but he dished up the best Pizzas in town (he has the newspaper cutting to prove it, if you don't take our word for it). Conversation ranged widely from self dissolving contact lenses (no need to take them out and have similar effect to beer goggles) to BSCs (don't ask) and nipple tassels. Any threats to re-seat us outside, far side of the street, we took to be in gest.

What a night.

The best pizzas in town (arguably).

And Christy played the only person in the universe who can read his game!!!!!


This site should come with some sort of warning. There was spanking mentioned in Dunbar's report against the 2s, and now there's nipple tassels.

I can recommend the Calzone - there was hardly any air in it, I don't need to eat for a week.
Can you guys make up your mind, one week I'm a windmill, next week my game is impossible to read? ;-)
Fair play to Waverley, good after-match chat, it was us that lowered the tone for the surreal stuff.

Just spotted the word "streak" in the first sentence.
