Concordia Squash Players,
The semi finals took place last night (Monday 25th February) Don Pattison played Keith Gray and Mark Livingstone played Ian
Morton. Don and Keith were closely handicapped at +6 and +4 respectively. As always Keith gave 110% and worked extremely
hard to return many of Don's deceptive and often delayed shots. Don was just too accurate and showed his experience in mixing things up throughout the match. Don won 2-1 but truthfully, on another day, it could have gone the other way. A great game to watch.
The other semi was similar in that both players were closely handicapped. (-8 and -10) Mark Livingstone has improved massively this season, his introduction to team squash has seen his game go up to another level in both technical ability and court movement. Both of these players are fine hitters of the ball, there is no doubt that Ian has gone through the junior coaching
programme and shows us all how it should be done. This meant for a great battle with many long rallies to the back of the court as well as some very hard work by both players retrieving each others drop shots on a cold court. This also went to the wire with Ian just getting there in the third game winning 21-17.
There was a good turn out to watch the games which was great to see. Thank you to Steve Goldie for marking Ian and
Mark's game.
The final is at 6.40pm on Friday 1st March. Please
come along and watch the match.
