2014 closed competition finals results

4/5/2014

Friday night finals night.
Chris Brock and Mark Knott have both showed much improvement this season and they provided a thoroughly entertaining match in the B competition final. Chris went 2-0 up playing some textbook length ball giving Mark little chance to respond. At 2-0 Chris seemed to tire and Mark clawed his way back. 3-2 to Mark in the end but there is no doubt Chris has taken a step up with his squash. A great match to watch.
The A final saw Tony Hedley prove to be too strong for Jamie Morton. Jamie couldn't produce the boast nicks as he did in the semi final and unlike that semi Tony picked up Jamie's ferocious forehand drives keeping Jamie in the backhand corner much of the game. 3-0 to Tony.
That's Tony's 7th title. A great record.
Thank you to all who helped mark games throughout the week, a great turnout this year.
Watch out for a 3 man mini league handicap early June for thosewho want to play through the summer.

Two Exciting games were seen at the Concordia 2014 closed competition finals. First up in the B plate final, Chris Brock V Mark Knott. An epic game where Chris took the first 2 games. Mark was not to be so easily beaten and came back to make it 2-2. The final game went to the wire and was narrowly won by Mark. Well done to both players for providing such great entertainment
Then came the A trophy final. Tony Hedley V Jamie Morton. A battle of the Titans. The spectators were treated to some excellent squash. Tony showed why he has his name on the trophy more times than any one else, putting in a hard shift to win again.
Deserved thanks go to Ian McAllister who has worked hard to make the competition a success. And also thanks to all of the spectators and supporters who turned out to watch the final and the competition throughout the week.

4 great games last night to make it an interesting Friday finals night.
Mark Knott's strength was his speed around the court and he managed to wear down Rob Owen to win 3-1 in the first of the B competition matches.
In the other match Nick Fecitt was simply too good for Chris Brock despite the improvement Chris has shown this season. Nick however couldn't make the final and forfeited the match. Chris and Mark should provide a good B final.
In the 'A' competition Tony Hedley overhauled Steve Goldie with a comfortable 3-0 win playing steady and controlled squash. The last game saw Jamie Morton beat Ian McAllister 3-1 with every game won by small margins. Jamie's nicks and ferocious forehand drives were simply too good on the night.
If Jamie can replicate this form the A final should be a real spectacle.
Please come along and support the event. 6.40pm start.

Wednesday night saw 8 competitive matches in the A and B competitions.
The lads in the B competition were up early and raring to go. Mark Knott made full use of the tips previously offered by senior Don Pattison when he first came to the club to beat Don 3-0.
Rob Owen made short work of beating Martin Davison 3-0 playing many great drop shots to close
off the rallies. Martin has had some tough games this week.
Dave McRae demonstrated his continued improvement however Nick Fecitt was too strong
winning 3-0. Despite dropping the 1st game Chris Brock came back to beat Andy Pattison 3-1.
In the A competition all went with the form book. Tony Hedley beat Rory Whaling and Ian McAllister beat Bruno Gaultier. The other 2 matches were close. Steve Goldie had to dig deep to overhaul Dan Cussack. At 1-1 it looked anyone's game but Steve kept it tidy and worked Dan around the court. 3-1 to Steve. Mark Livingstone and Jamie Morton put on a great display and much effort in a 5 setter consisting of Bish Bash Bosh. No point in keeping the ball after this !
Jamie just came through 15-12 in the 5th. Great match.
Semi finals at 6.40pm tonight although Mark Knott and Rob Owen need to play a little earlier.
Come along and support the event

The 2nd round of the A competition took place last night
(Tuesday 29th) with one or two players showing signs of a hard season.

Keith Gray was once again (isn't he always) up against Tony Hedley. 3-0 to Tony.
Peter Irlam was stuck in Leeds so Rory Whaling with a bye now has to face Tony in the quarters.
Dan Cussack showed how his team squash this season has seen his game go from strength to strength, he beat Robin Ritchie 3-0.
Some great squash from Steve Goldie and Ian Morton was the tie of the night with Ian well bandaged up. Steve went through 3-2.
Although the last match of the night, Dave Hall narrowly lost to Jamie Morton, another great match. Mark Livingstone beat John Ormsby (a battle of the blasters)
Bruno Gaultier beat Les Carr and Ian McAllister beat Paul Blakely.
Tonight Dan will face Steve Goldie, Jamie Morton will play Mark Livingstone and Bruno will play Ian McAllister.
The B competition got off to a shaky start with a number of no shows. Although injured, Graeme Sneddon put up a valiant fight to narrowly loose to Dave Mcrae. Rob Owen's opponent couldn't make it, thanks to Rob who stayed and marked games all night. Mark Knott beat Paul Scott, Nick Fecitt was too strong for Peter Edney, Martin Davison just pipped Chris Brock and Andrew Pattison won the family battle over his Dad who kindly stood in at the last minute (another no show) With only 5 out right winners I needed 3 highest scoring losers to go through to make the last 8, these were Chris Brock (62pts) Paul Scott (52pts and Don Pattison (52 pts) Bill Johnson will be doing the draw for the B' tonight at 6pm, potentially there could be some re-matches,
depends how the names come out. Even if not playing, come along.
