The A, B and C finals took place on Tuesday 22nd December and this is how it all unfolded.
Unfortunately Andy Dolan, having been ill for the best part of a week, turned out at less than 100% and his match with Tony Hedley in the A final wasn't quite the battle we anticipated. These things can't be helped and I'm very grateful that Andy turned out at all. He still played some entertaining squash testing Tony along the way. 3-0 to Tony, his eighth win.
In the B final Steve Goldie's quality shots proved too much for Peter Archbold. A good contest with a 3-0 scoreline but all were close games, no shortage of effort from Peter.
In the C final Keith Grey, always the battling entertainer, and Martin Davison provided us with a match difficult to predict.
Looking at results against other club players you would say Martin had the edge. Tell that to Keith Grey !
It ended 3-2 to Mr Davison but it was far from easy and both players gave us a great contest to watch.
After presentations, a trip to the village, beer and curry flowed, the world was put right and financial plans put in place for a new squash club in Cramlington. Where the £1 million + was to come from to do this was never quite resolved.
A good night all round........ I think. Thank you to all who came along to support the event and to Jamie Morton for taking the helm for the A final.
Look out for the Handicap competition around late January/February and the 2016 Closed will hopefully be back at it's regular spot in April.
Enjoy your squash.
