Team news, w/c 23rd September

29/9/2013

Mixed fortunes for our 3 men’s  teams this week.
The 3rd team played  Boldon away to start their very first season in the Northumbria League. Although  beaten 3-2 on the night they showed that they deserve to be in the league. Dan  Cussack showed he has the right temperament after a shaky start and turned his  game around with measured composed squash. It could have been a different result  for their captain Mark Knott who narrowly lost the 4th game 15-14 to
loose 3-1. Keith Gray showed his fighting spirit gaining 2 points for his team
losing  2-3. A strong 3-0 win also for  Peter Irlam.
They are looking forward to the  re-match at the turn of the year.

The 2nd team were also  away from home this week. Continuing their form from last season, this team is  getting stronger all the time. They beat Dunston 4-1 coping well with their  unique (hot) courts. Great result.

The men’s 1st team were  narrowly beaten at home on Thursday against an ever strong Northumberland  (Jesmond) 2nd team. Both Tony Hedley and Ian McAllister were beaten  3-2 but either match could have gone the other way. Good performances from Ian  Morton and Andy Dolan secured 6 valuable points. 
At No 1 in the team Andy Dolan  played some truly magnificent top quality squash with some lengthy entertaining  rallies. 
  
Look out for the team’s home  fixtures and come along to support their efforts.

Sunday the 8th September saw some exciting squash played at  Concordia as the finals of the mini leagues took place. 

Team Norfolk  and  Chance;  David MaCrae, Peter Edney and Roland Smith played Team Gangnam  Style;  Keith Gray, Andy  Lawrence and Mark Knott

In the first game Andy Lawrence played David MaCrae.  Despite a huge effort from David to stay on terms, Andy managed to claw back the  handicap points and go on to win 21-12 and  21-14.

The second game was a very close, hard  fought match between Don Pattison and Roland Smith. Don won the first game 21-20  and looked to have the match in the bag when he took the second game to 19-16.  However, Roland pulled it back to 20 all, and then took the game 21-20. The  match was decided in a gruelling 3rd game which Roland stole at the end  on  21-19.

The final match was between Keith Grey  and Peter Edney. Both players showed plenty of skill and determination and some  long rallies ensued. In the end Keith managed to keep it tight and pulled off a  well deserved victory 21-16 and 21-19.

This  sealed the victory for Team Gangnam style. Congratulations go to Andy, Don and  Keith for an excellent team effort and to David, Peter and Roland for providing  some stiff competition and an entertaining evening. 

Everyone really enjoyed the competition and all look  forward to the next mini league competition. Thanks go out to Don and Mark for  scoring, and to the spectators who turned up and gave plenty of support to the  players. And a big thank you to Ian for organising it for us.

Mini Leagues 1st ROUND RESULTS

Concordia Squash  Players,
                                             
My mathematics is as good as my organising skills.

In match 1, The Miss Hits  were drawn against Norfolk and Chance.
Peter Edney beat Mark Livingstone 21-8  and 21-3. 
Chris Brock beat Roland Smith 21-16 and 21-19.
With the
match at 1 game all, Ian McAllister stood in for Miss Hits Tony Hedley to play  David Mcrae.
Ian just scraped through with a 21-19 21-19 win. A close  match however the total points were even closer.
Norfolk and Chance go  through to the final with 96 points against Miss Hits 95. I got that bit  correct.
 
Match 2. Broken Strings were drawn against Gangnan  Style.
In a nutshell my adding up was rubbish and Broken Strings are  going to be disappointed. 
Both Keith Gray and Andy Lawrence won their  matches for Gangnan posting 42 points each for their team.
Keith 21-16, 18-21  and 21-13. 
Andy 21-17 and 21-9
Broken Strings anchor man Dan Cussack  gave good account and managed to beat  the wily Don Pattison 21-17 and
21-15 to give his team 42 points,  however Don's points tally was  crucial. 
When the best two scores of  all the players were added up the  scores were Gangnan Style 116  (42,42,32) and Broken Strings 107 (42,37,26) In  fact Gangnan Style won  by quite a margin. Apologies to the 'Broken Strings'  lads for my hasty  and rather poor adding up on the night. 
The final is  at 6pm Sunday 8th September 2013.
