Concordia 3 Vs Walker 1

The first game of the night was Mark Knott Playing at position 4 his opponent was Nick Humphrey. All three games were taken by Mark without any real pressure this was not to say Mark was playing well, just Nick was not.

Next up was Joe race playing at position 1 his opponent was Pete Downs. This was set to be a good match as Pete was fit and a good all round player. The first game was won by Joe 15 – 09 then he won the second 15 – 11 when everyone thought Joe was running away with the match Pete came back to win 15 – 14 pressure was on now and Joe did not let us down winning 15 – 06 this was a good game to watch, well done lads.

Next was Keith Grey playing at position 5 his opponent was Adam Perrin these two players had played each other before and Keith read the game well playing good length and putting Adam under pressure from the beginning, Keith dominated this match winning 3 – 0 but well done Adam for putting up a good battle.

The next game was Dan Cusack playing at position 3 he was playing Steve Drummond. The first game was won by Steve who put Dan under pressure playing some clever little drop shots. The next game was taken by Dan winning 15 – 07 and playing sensible squash. The next two games were won by Dan giving him a positive 3 – 1 win. Well done to both players working hard and playing some entertaining squash.

The final game was Gary Storey playing at position 2 his opponent Fiona McFarlane. This was going to be a good match to watch as both players could move around the court well and were both really fit players. The first game was taken by Fiona 15 – 11 Gary had to knuckle down and play some good squash he did not let us down winning the next three games. The final score was 3 -1, this was a fantastic match to watch and both players should be congratulated for playing really entertaining squash.

PS Don’t drink too much over the Xmas we play again on the 6th

First up was Mark Knott playing at number 3 he was playing against Peter Brown The first game was a little hitty missy Mark eventually winning 15 – 10 the next game was won by Peter winning 15 -8 The third game was in the bag mark winning comfortably 15 -5 the fourth game was difficult with both players playing well at 14 -14 Peter managed to win with a nick which made the final game interesting. Now at 2 -2 mark pushed on and managed to steal the final game 15 -10 first win for Concordia but Mark has the injury’s to prove he was up against a good player.

Next up was Peter Irlam playing at number 4 he was playing Matt Wadington the first game was a close game with both players working hard and playing some good squash. Peter managed to take the final point to win the first game 15 -14. The next game was very similar but Peter’s fitness was beginning to show the difference between the two players Peter winning again 15 -13 the last game was all over very quickly Peter taking it without any real pressure 15 -6. Well played Peter some good squash.

The next players up were Dan Cusack playing at number 2 and Gary Callum. Dan was playing some good squash and comfortably took the first game 15 -4 The second game was very similar Dan not letting up and punishing Gary with some excellent squash the second game was won by Dan 10-15. This game was in the bag but Gary had other ideas as he took the third game 15 – 7 showing Dan that he could not relax the fourth game was won by Dan 15 – 10 but Gary showed he was not going to be beaten easily. Well done Dan some good squash being played.

The next game was between Keith Grey playing at number 5 and Andy Jukes the first game was won by Andy 15 -14 and both players played well although Keith was playing a hard hitting game not his normal play. The second game was won again by Andy winning 15 – 10 but Keith played a lot better playing some great shots. The final game was won by Andy 15 -12 although Keith was beaten 3 -0 he played some good squash unfortunately he was beaten on the night by a better player. Good games to watch lads well done.

The final game was played by Andy Lawrence playing at number 1 and Ramon Carrillo. Andy took the first game 15 -10 playing some excellent squash which was very exciting to watch. The second game again was won by Andy 15 -10 but the score does not justify how well Andy was playing this was the best squash I have watched Andy play all season unfortunately for Ramon. The final game was taken again by Andy winning 15 -8.This was a great match to watch well done both players.

First up was Rob Owen playing at number 4 he was playing John Glenwright this was a good match to watch Rob leading 15 -10 then John coming back winning 13 -15. Rob was in control playing some great squash taking the third game 15 – 06 then winning the final game 15 -10. Both players played well demonstrating some good squash skills.

Next up was Keith Grey who was playing Tony Hackney the first game was taken by Tony 15 -05 after Keith decide to play his boasting game, after having a little chat with Ian McAllister the tide turned and Keith came back to win the next game 15 – 14 playing good length. The next game was taken by Tony who was playing well making Keith run and forcing him to boast from the back wall. Again Keith fought his way back in this match winning 15 – 14. The final game was won by Tony 15 -13 but Keith made him work for this win. Well done both lads.

Now came the game of the night full of controversy and heated discussion with the marker. Dan Cusack was playing Barry Turnbull both players were playing well Dan taking the first game 15 -13. The second game had its moments as Barry and Dan both having a heated discussion with the marker at 14 -14 to lose with a stroke sucks. Sorry Barry. The final game had just as much excitement as Barry was wanting to lynch the marker by this point both players worked hard but Dan came through in the end to win 15 -12 after a few controversial decisions this was still a good match to watch. Well done lads.

Next up was our new player Gary Storey who was a little shell shocked at the start of the match losing 15 – 12 to Craig Myers but the game was good to watch both players making some good shots. It was time to watch Gary play his normal high standard of squash playing good length and some great drops forcing Craig in to the corner only to make a perfect drop to the front. Gary won the next three games 15 – 11, 15 – 08 and finally 15 – 10.

The overall match was now won by Concordia 3 but Connor Snaith and Andy Lawrence looked like a match not to miss and they did not let us down both players working hard and hitting great shots around the court it was Andy who took the first game 15 – 11 only to see Connor come back with some great squash winning 15 – 10 then 15 -07 and finally 15 – 08 this was a good match to watch well done to both players on some excellent squash.

Great results Concordia 3 keep up the good work lads.

Concordia 3 Vs Westoe 4First to play was Keith Grey who was playing at number 5 his opponent was Bob Crutwell, the first game was a bit crazy with Keith playing random uncontrolled boasts which were leaving his opponent with a killer finish. The first game ended 14-15 and after Keith relaxed and played the squash we knew he was capable of he won the following three games 15-08 15-05 15-09 very comfortably. Well done to both players.

Next up was Dan Cusack his opponent was Ryan Beattie the games were good to watch but Dan won all three games comfortably maybe Dan needs to look at moving up to position 1 at xmas and giving Andy a break. Well done Dan very good win. (Looks like those lessons are starting to pay off)

The next game involved Joe Race his opponent was Dick Elliot unfortunately for Dick he was up against a young fit man who was becoming a very good squash player. Joe won all three games very easily showing everyone he should be playing at a higher standard. Well done Joe.

Up next was Peter Irlam his opponent was Barry Daglish The first game was won by Peter winning 15-07 but then Barry came back to win 15-06 the following two games were taken by Peter 15-05 and 15-04 although Peter won comfortably in the end. The amount of points which were lost due to Peter not asking for strokes was crazy. Maybe a bit of training is required regardless of strokes lost well don Peter on a very good win.

The last game was Andy Lawrence his opponent was Stephen Wilkinson the first game was won by Stephen winning 15-14 then Andy came back strong to win the second game 15-08 this was looking at being a real battle as both players were fighting for every point. Stephen won the third game 15-09 putting Andy under pressure and he didn’t let us down winning the fourth game 15-05 it was now 2-2 and both players were playing good squash after a hard battle Stephen eventually won 3-2 taking the fifth game 15-09 well done to both players demonstrating some excellent squash.

Overall well done to Concordia 3 this has now put us second in the league.

First to play was Gary Storey who was playing at number 3 his opponent was Stephen Hierons, Gary played his normal game putting himself all over the court chasing every ball as this was Gary’s first team game he played well although Stephen played well during the first game winning 15-10 Gary played some good squash but both players made quite a few mistakes during the games, at the end of the match Gary managed a good win 3-1 well done to both lads.

Next to play was Peter Irlam and Scott Little the first game was won by Peter playing some good squash and winning 15-3 putting Scott under pressure but Scott was an experienced player and came back strong to win the second game 15-10 this was turning out to be a good battle peter won the third game 15-11 and stayed strong to take the match 15-8 in his final game this was a good game to watch well done to both
players.

Next up was Mark Knott and Chris Hierons this was expected to be a good game to watch with Mark playing one of the younger players but Mark played some sensible squash playing some tricky shots and frustrating his opponent in to making some forced errors. It was all over after a very short time leaving Chris beaten 3 -0 let’s see if Chris can have his revenge in the return match.

Next to play was Dan Cusack his opponent again was a young man Jonathon Head This was very similar to the last game Dan playing some good solid squash but playing some trick shots that left Jonathon wondering how to deal with Dan. It was all over after a short period ending 3 -0 to Dan well done to both players.

The final game was played by our number 1 player Andy Lawrence who was against Marcus Allsop this game looked like it was going to be a good match to watch and we weren’t disappointed Andy won the first game 15 -13 then the second 15 -13 again Marcus was an experienced player and came back to win the next two games 15 -14 and again 15 -14 the final game was set to be a hard trying game but Andy dug deep and overcome to win 15 -8 this was a great match to watch and both players deserve a pat on the back for playing some great rally’s.

Well done Concordia 3 on a great start to the new season.

First up was Daniel Monera he was playing Keith Jackson the first game gave Daniel no problems winning 15-4 unfortunately for Keith Daniel showed his skill in the game winning 15-5 then 15-12 at times it looked like a practice session for Daniel who I am sure will be pushing for the second team next season.

The next game was Keith Grey who was playing against Dave Robson the first game was won by Keith 15-5 Keith played some really good squash playing excellent length and his boast was very affective. The second game again went to Keith 15-5 at one point he played a perfect drop shot (for a change) that was witnessed by the third team fan club (Dave Buckle). It was noticed that Keith had been getting extra coaching from his wife. The third game was a little closer but Keith was to strong and won 15-8 well done Keith some good games.

Next up was Peter Irlam he was playing Carl Fairless Peter took the first game 15-7 and we watched some great rallies the next game was won by Carl 8-15 this looked like it was going to be a good match to watch and they did not let us down Peter winning the next game 15-9 and the final game 15-10.

Now it was Dan Cusack’s turn to show why he was playing at number 1 his opponent was Jim Chambers Dan had extra pressure as his coach Dave Barnet was looking on to see if his coaching was working. Dan did not let him down winning 15-3 then 15-4 with the final game ending 15-9 well done Dan as Jim is a wily old fox who should not be under estimated.

Our final game watched Andy Lawrence who eventually turned up play Tim Blake. Tim was favourite to take this match as he looked good in the warm up showing good racket skills unfortunately nobody told Andy and he won the first game 15-13 some great rallies being played the next game was won by Andy again winning 15-6 the final game was difficult as Andy was showing his age and only managed to win 15-12. Well done to both players a good match to watch.

First up was Paul Blakey who was playing Keith Langley unfortunately Paul had previously played a league game so this was always going to be a difficult game. Paul lost the first game 8 - 15 the second game Paul had the game in the bag but in his own words was out of sorts losing 12 - 15
Paul did well in the third but was beaten by a better player with a final score of 13 - 15 well done to Keith & Paul for an entertaining game.

Next up was Keith Grey playing against Paul Felton the first game ended 9 - 15 and Keith looked a little shocked how quick it was all over, Paul played some good shots and had Keith digging deep to stay in the game. The second game was very similar ending 8 - 15 with Keith trying to play some good length but struggling to keep the ball close to the wall. The final game was entertaining and very competitive Keith was playing better and Paul starting to make mistakes but unfortunately Keith lost to a better player in the end 12 -15.

This put Chester le St ahead two games next was the Captain Mark Knott who was playing Mike Littlechild, Mark was carrying an injury in to the game and new if Mike realized he was struggling to run then the games would be over very quickly. The first game was won by Mike 13 -15 this was now set up for a good second game and Mark & Mike didn’t let us down the game could have
gone either way but Mike won the second 14 -15 the third saw Mark ahead 7 -3 but Mike using his experience managed to get himself back in to the game after an exciting climax the game ended 14 -15 and Chester lee St had won another match well done to Mike.

Next to play was Dan Cusack who was playing at number 1 his opponent was Andy Fitzpatrick both players played well but Andy showed his superiority in the first game winning 7 -15 the second game saw Andy put on the pressure and cause Dan to pick up his game but Andy was just too good and Dan lost 4 -15 the third was very quick and painless for Dan as Andy smashed home with a 5 -15 win giving Chester Le St another match win. (May be smashed was a bit strong)

Our final game was with Andy Lawrence and Dave Harrison Andy started the first game struggling to stay with Dave who was playing some good squash the first game ended 9 -15 after Andy had the classic team talk and boost of confidence he played the second game a lot better but still was beaten 11 -15 this looked like it was all over but Andy dug deep and won Concordia 3s first game against Chester Le St winning 15 -14 this looked like it was the turning point for Andy to go on and win our first match unfortunately he lost the next 5 -15 leaving the rest of the team stunned as to what had just happened.

Well done to Chester Le St and good luck with the rest of the season lads.
