This team match was quickly upon us after our last
performance on Friday at Edinburgh Sports Club and with a much changed
team due to full availability we entertained Waverley 4 on Tuesday 18/11/14
down at the Grange. We found ourselves sharing courts with the national league
team which at times doubled the amount of spectators watching the squash on
offer.
Jamie and myself were first up playing number 1
& 5 respectively. Both games went to 5, I was having trouble dealing with Chris’s deft lob serves and drop
shots to the corner, but managed to grind out a win and Jamie was having a bit a
of a battle on the other court and the game was officiated over by a visiting national
league ref who kept a lid on things with amongst other things a conduct warning
against Colin. Jamie took the match 3-2.
Next up was Rocco and Richard playing at number 4
& 2 respectively. Rocco was up to his usual and lost the first 2 games
easily before mounting a spirited comeback to close out a 3-2 win. Richard was
too strong for his opponent in the other match and a lot of big hitting from
both players saw Richard win 3-0.
Last up was Christy playing Gary at number 3.
Christy started well taking the first 9-1, before Gary worked out how play
Christy to take the second game 9-7, unfortunately Gary then retired injured
early in the 3rd game after pulling a calf muscle and this left
Christy to take the match 3-1.
Match results including ref points was 20-7 to Grange
4. We then retired to the bar for the standard fare of Franco’s pizzas and
refreshments to watch the last 30 minutes of the Scotland v England match being
shown on the TV and to reflect on the evening events.

If the previous match was "massacre at ESC", does this one count as "Shootout at Grange corral" seeing as we got full points & the Clanton gang (Waverley) got a handful and one of them was seen limping away ;)
