I have recently completed my level 2 qualification and am available now to coach one to one or small groups. Coaching small groups help to keep costs down. Cheers Ian McAllister

Concordia Squash Players,
The latest team Handicap final took place on Wednesday 23rd July 2014. There was going to be a new name on the trophy after Gangnam Style were beaten in the semi finals. The Mishits, also former winners were up against a very determined Bruno's Mob. A battle for 3rd and 4th places was also enacted with Bill's Bashers up against Roland's Old Un's. Andy Wally put in a great effort to hold off a very fit and speedy Mark Knott who very nearly overturned a hefty handicap. With two of the games ending 21-20, Mark only dropped a single point for his team. Well done to both players who provided some great entertaining rallies. The young Joe Race for the Bashers was just too strong for Peter Brewis winning 21-15, 21-16. Finally the 2 captains went head to head. Roland had a huge task in overturning Bill Johnson's +11 handicap. A good humoured but competitive match saw Bill take the win and secure the 3rd place for his team. In the final itself Peter Irlam showed grit and determination to beat Dave Hall. First blood to Bruno's Mob. Chris Brock leading the Mishits was up against Bruno himself and lost 2-0 in a closely fought match with many long rallies which could have gone either way. Last on was one of our up and coming stars for the future, Mark Coxon who played Ian McAllister. With +7 against -12 handicap Mark needed to finish the rallies without errors while Ian played very conservative squash to slowly eat away the backlog. Ian won 21-20, 21-15. Bruno's Mob with a 3-0 win (Vive la Resistance) have their name on the trophy. Look out for the next team event September/October time, get yourself a team of 3 and enter, it's a great way to see everyone in the club and play different players on level terms. Don't forget the club AGM on Thursday 31st July, 7.30pm at Concordia Bar. Please come along. Ian Mc Update from Roger Biggs

Over 35 Masters 2 England international caps Semi-final British Closed 2014 Final British Open 2014 Semi-final World Championships Hong Kong This is how the teams came out:-
Gangnam Style v Bruno's Mob The Mishits v Bill's Bashers Cunning Stunts v Roland's Old Uns. A good turn out produced some good squash when 6 teams battled for the privilege of playing in the final on Wednesday 23rd July 2014. The Mishits went through with 119 points with outright wins by Chris Brock turning over his mentor Bill Johnson and Dave Hall proving too strong for an up and coming star for the future Gary Storey. Mark Coxon fought well to secure the other 35 points for the Mishits. Bruno's Mob were only 1 point behind to take the other final spot with wins by Ian McAllister and Bruno with Peter Irlam contributing a valuable 34 points. It was really good to see some new faces in the club, all with potential to strengthen our leagues and our teams. There will be a play off for 3rd and 4th place to run alongside the final on 23rd July, that means an encounter between Bill's Bashers and Roland's Old Un's. 6.40pm start. Come along and support the event. Enjoy your squash Ian Mc |
