April 2014 mini league finals

24/7/2014

0 Comments

 
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.

July 2014 mini leagues

3/7/2014

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

December Mini League 2013

Click here toBeing so near to Christmas it was  no surprise that there were only 4 teams  entered in the last club competition of 2013.

The Miss-Hits were  drawn against  Cunning Stunts while McRae’s Mob played  Gangnam Style.

The Miss-Hits go through with a   total of 124 points, only 2 short  of the maximum with wins from Ian  McAllister and Tony Hedley. Chris Brock was  narrowly defeated by Dan  Cussack   in a very hard fought encounter with both players determined  to win at  all costs.

Cunning Stunts total came  to  105.

In the other match Gangnam Style were just too strong  for McRae’s mob with all 3 Gangnam players winning their  games. Well done  to Mark Knott, Keith Grey and Andy Lawrence. 
 
There will need  to be some handicap  adjustment next time round I think.

The  final is next Thursday,  19th December, 6pm start. 

Come along  and support the  event.

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.

The Miss-Fits (Chris Brock,  Tony Hedley and Mark Livingstone) are the first team to get their name on the  Mini League Shield after they beat the Broken Strings (Michael Jones, Neil  Taylor and Peter McCourt)

Despite Don Pattison giving Tony Hedley a run for  his money in the semi's, Tony remained strong to beat Michael Jones in the  final. Both Chris Brock and Mark Livingstone also demonstrated the value of  their fitness to come through to win their finals matches, Chris beating a tired Peter McCourt and Mark wearing down Neil Taylor despite a valiant  effort.
Thank you to all those who entered the competition as well as those  who turned out to watch and make a night of it.

A special mention to Steve  Goldie and Nick Fecitt for marking the bulk of the games, particularly in the  early rounds.

If the response is  favourable we can have another mini league later in the year, I'm open to any  suggestions on how we could improve the format.
The end of season closed  competion is to run from Monday 29th April with the final on Friday 3rd May.

Can I have your entries in  ASAP so I have an idea of how many courts to book. Entry is free, first round  losers will go into the B competion (plate) to start Tuesday 30th so all  entrants will get to play at least 2 games.
Enjoy your squash.

Concordia Mini League Results

25/3/2013

Concordia Squash Players,                                    
The mini league matches were played last night and here are the results.

Norfolk +Good beat Macrae's Mob, unfortunately One of Mcrae's Mob failed to  turn up which meant that Don Pattison didn't get a game at all  and Mcrae's Mob had no chance of going on to play the 2nd Strings as  highest scoring losers. Les Escargots had the pleasure of playing  that match against 2nd Strings after they were beaten by the Miss  Fits.
Another epic between Tony Hedley (Miss Fit)  and Keith Gray (Les  Escargots) provided much entertainment. 
Broken Strings beat Concordia  Tomatoes and the 2nd Strings were just too strong for a tired Les Escorgots  although they put up a good fight. 
I'll do the draw for the semi's  on Wednesday night (27th March) when the men's 2nd team play their final match  of the season (with a chance of promotion) 
The men's 1st team are also  at home this week, they play their last game on Thursday 28th March. Come along  and support the teams.

New Mini Leagues starting Sunday 24/3/13

5/3/2013

Concordia Squash Players,
                                   
I have 7 teams (see below) submitted for the Sunday Mini league. (24th  March) I'm looking at a prompt 5.20pm start. The first 4 teams out of the  hat play their match. Same Handicap format. All points scored count. Best of 3  games to 21, American scoring. Negative handicaps to be reasonably  adjusted.
The winners go through to the finals night. The third highest  scoring team get a second bite of the cherry and make up the four to play  later that evening. Similarly the 2 winning teams go through to the finals night  on  Sunday 7th April 2013. 
 
Concordia  Tomatoes.          Dan Cussack (0) Andy Lawrence (+3) Mark  Knott (+5)
Broken  Strings.                    Michael Jones (-3) Neil Taylor (+7) Peter Mcourt (-2)
Macrae's  Team                    David Macrae (+10) Sally Faulkner (+12) Craig Tuck (+10)
Miss  Hits                              Mark Livingstone (-8) Tony Hedley (-20) Chris Brock (+8)
Norfolk +  Good.                   Peter Edney (+10) Andy Pattison (+9) Ian McAllister (-10)
Second  Strings                    Nick Fecitt (-6) Steve Goldie (-8) Rory Whaling (-6)
Les  Escargots                      Keith Gray (+5) Bruno Gaultier (-6) Rob Owens (+4)
 
£3.00 per man  should cover the cost of the courts. It is difficult to predict how  long matches will take so can I ask that those teams due to play in the second  'four' still come up in good time (say no later than 6.15pm)   and support the event. 
I'll do the draw on Friday evening (8th  March) at Concordia when there are people around to witness it  all.
Ian Mc
