Semi Finals and Finals.
The B competition Semi’s saw Mark Knott take on Les Carr and Andy Lawrence played Jonnie Woodhouse.
Both games were interesting in different ways.
Les Carr looked so comfortable when he played his orthodox length game keeping Mark in the corners and struggling. However for some reason Les fell into Mark’s mixed up game of boasts and drops during which many errors arose. Mark took the game comfortably in the end.
Jonnie Woodhouse also demonstrated his ability to play tidy length shots and for a while looked the better player. Andy Lawrence however was having none of it. He scrambled and never gave up a thing. Slowly Andy’s fitness took over and won the game. A good game to watch.
The A competition semi’s went very much according to form although both Dan Cusack and Martin Davison worked their socks off to make a game of it. Chris Brock and Tony Hedley went through to the final fairly comfortably.
Finals Night
A good turn out for the finals saw Andy Lawrence take on Mark Knott and Tony Hedley v Chris Brock.
In the B Final Mark was very well aware of Andy’s fitness and stamina and so appeared to go for his cross court drops and reverse angle boasts whenever he could and hope they were winners. Andy managed to get enough of them back and ground out a comfortable result in the end. 3-0.
Tony Hedley was still too controlled and too accurate for Chris Brock in the A Final. Chris worked very hard and made a great spectacle for the crowd but an occasional loose shot was all Tony needed to take the advantage and build up the pressure forcing an error from Chris. Won’t be long before Chris’s name is on the trophy if he continues to improve at his current rate.
A few beers and a curry finished off the night in great style.
Thank you to all who helped mark throughout the week, special thanks to our mascot and key spectator Bill Johnson (always offering his many years of squash insight and knowledge)
Thanks also to Peter Edney who would normally be playing but marked all week while dealing with his injury.
