Fifths home v David Lloyd of Corstorphine(Thurs, Mar 21)

A nice friendly fun-but-competitive fixture. Christy won the same number of points as #1 Blair Lochrie but he was fortunate to get most of them in the 3 games he won, ensuring the team got off to a good start.
  David Grieve had too much running and shots in his locker for John Wallace while Andrew Beames was in control against Andrew Green, DLL's youth policy Part I.
Pete Young played Cameron Green, brother &  Part II of DLL-youth-policy , this one went to 5 with Pete just about stumbling over the line after a sustained comeback from the young man.
 4-0 up in matches so far, we gathered on the balcony for Anto versus Elaine "I even lost another few kilos since Grange Open" Inglis, to see if the clean sweep was on. Some good squash with Elaine sending Anto the wrong way a few times but Anto ran everything down apart from a collapse in the 3rd.
   Back at the pavilion, talk turned to DLL2's end of season celebrations given that Cameron would need to be in bed by 10pm, plus plans for the upcoming racketball season at Grange.

Comedy moments were Blair having an open court but from point-blank range he hit the one spot he needed to miss - himself.
Followed in the next match by Pete Young having an open court but from point-blank range he hit the one spot he needed to miss - himself.
   Just one more match, against Waverley who are in the hypothetical relegation zone - perhaps we should invent a Vauxhall Conference so that Div 5 teams can be relegated ;-? We are safely mid-table. Overall, headmaster gives this team a C for competitive.

The fifths have five players. The fifths all win.


Let's get a sixth team!
