Four against four on eact team. Dave Grieve played Chris at no. 2. chris was in squash mode which suited Dave as he kept the errors down while taking his chances at the front: 3-0.
Rob Henry made his debut against Michael and came back from losing the first game to win the next 3 convincingly.
At no. 3, Jordan faced James Birkhead who was banditing low down the order due to not having played much racketball. Jordan lost the first narrowly but levelled in the second. One rally was a tribute to The Matrix as James bend into a banana to avoid the slow-mo swish of Jordan's racket and then dived to retrieve and win the rally. James kept his Keanu Reeves persona by winning the next two games against the machines.
Christy faced Ron Todd and got control in the first two games just by blowing the blue ball about. Ron started to just pick him off from the back (or Christy tinned a lot) to level it. Christy built up a good lead in the fifth and almost ended up with egg on his face, much to the balcony's amusement, with some showboating corkscrew serves befere Ron mercifully tinned at game-ball down.
Chef Grieve served up some sumptuous chicken curry in giant portions with Naan bread. Just an away match to ESC and the club RB championships to decide, so a good point to include a summary of results so far:

With just one match to play, it looks as if Grange will finish up with more points than any other club.
Unless ESC offer the food and drinks first and claim a 44-0 win.
When are Watsons going to give racketball a go?
I mean, Scotty Thompson is a demon at the original version and grinders like CoCo and yourself would be well suited to the UK version of it too.
ESSA are supposed to be running an official league division or 2 of it sometime during the 2011-12 season.
Maybe when someone at Watsons volunteers to organise it.
Hmm, that could be a long wait. Scotty might take a hint, seeing as he did the Jester's tour so well.
Though someone gone past making the teams (like Jack Calder or Charlie, no disrespect) might give it a go, as a way of extending their careers. Who ever organises it is an automatic pick, right?
