GRG2 Vs ESC3 (29 Nov 2011)

Another heroic performance by the 2s tonight which makes 8 in a row by my count! Unfortunately we met with some stiff opposition in ESC3 who are flying high in the league I think (hope!).

Mark Dutton was on first against Slasher Snowden. Slasher was slashing and Mark was diving in what was an entertaining bout! Slashers just crushed the ball far to much for Mark whose heroic court coverage could only get him so far. 0-3

Gordon (100%) Sloan was on against old nemesis JJ Tait. Damn close 9-7, 7-9 ,9-7 to JJ. Gordon was playing some lovely squash hitting good lengths and moving JJ well. 9-5 to JJ in the fourth with all on the balcony (mainly ESC) conceding he is just a lucky b*stard! Still no victory for Sloan . His nemesis continues.

Match of the night was the 2 Ians playing at 3. Fast and furious stuff with Ian Forbes grabbing the lead with some attacking boasting! Ian sanders settled in though nicely in the second to take it 9-0 with some tight driving which weathered Ian F's attacks. Ian F battled back as they shared the next 2. The 5th game was tight with Ian F demanding "2 more minutes!" from himself. Unfortunately Ian S didn't have that amount of time and closed out 2-3.

Big Robin Steel back in the fold! Previous matches this season had not been too pleasant for old Robin. Hopefully now in the 2s he would find his stride! Stuart Tennent was having now of it though and quickly went on to grab the first 2. I missed the rest but was glad to hear Robin grabbed one to go down 1-3. I decent result against a tidy player.

Myself got fairly well battered at one against lefty Barry Masson. Kept myself in it for as long as possible but was fairly out gunned. 0-3

Great scran afterwards however (prob best of the season so far if anyone really cares!!). Good craic with the boys as well over a few beers. All good!
