Concordia Squash Club Competition Finals Night

28/4/2012

Concordia Squash Players,
After a fairly full and successful week of competition squash at Concordia the finals were played last night (Friday)
Steve Goldie proved too strong for Dan Cussack on the night in the B competition. Dan did show his ability to retrieve and pick up what looked 'impossible drop shots' , he just couldn't keep it going as tiredness set in after a full week of tough games. The younger man won 3-0. Well played Steve with a new name on cup.
The A competition didn't disappoint with an excellent display of top quality squash from both Tony Hedley and Richard McAllister.
Richard seemed to go on court with a game plan keeping pace on the ball much of the time. Tony's ability to stay in the rallies, mix up the flow and frustrate his opponent showed throughout the game although his bandaged calf didn't go unnoticed. A contrast in styles porduced an excellent contest.
Richard won the game 3-1.
It was good to see a good number of spectators and supporters to watch these matches adding an atmosphers which made for a great finale to the season.
Thank you to Dave Buckle for marking Tony and Richard's game on the spur of the moment, he did an excellent job.

Enjoy your squash.

If nothing else it gives players an opportunity to play those at a different level. It can only bring your game on.
Enjoy your squash

I thought it might be difficult writing a report on the final in which I played but actually it was very easy. I lost.
This was the tale of 2 Ian's so I'll refer to them by surname.
Morton had already demonstrated his quality squash in the early rounds dispatching Dave Armstrong and Andy Lawrence (both a handful)
He also showed that he had the stamina to go with his ability when he denied Tony Hedley his chance of a fourth title in their semi.

McAllister was going to have to be somewhere near his best throughout the match to have any chance in this Final encounter with -16 against Morton's -2.

In the first game McAllister's risky drop shots stayed up and a few nicks at the back of the court came his way and he managed to take the first game

21-18. The next two games were a different story. McAllister's drop shots were better read and retrieved by Morton who showed his quickness around the court with no sign of him letting up. McAllister was made to work very hard for every point and that took it's toll. Tiredness and the errors that usually go with it, crept in. Morton rapped up those two games with relative ease winning 21-4 and 21-11 to win the match 2-1. Ian Morton took away the trophy and £40.00 prize after an excellent display of orthodox squash played to a high standard.

Thank you yet again to Derek Railston who marked the game.

Watch out for the Closed Competition around April time.
