   Mark Knott  was up first to play against Peter Tamworth Peter won the first game 15-14 and then 15 -08 Mark came back to win 15-14 but only just as peter played a great drop at 14-14 but Mark was ready and was waiting to play a great finish. The following game had Mark smashing his new racket after trying to get one of Peters shots back from the corner, Peter played well winning the fourth game and winning over all 3-1.
   The following game had Keith Grey playing against Steve Toal the first game was won by Steve 15-09 which was very competitive. The following two games were close with Keith losing 15-13 then 15-13 again. Unfortunately Keith’s boast did not help him tonight.
   That was Cramlington down two games now and we needed Rob Owen to take the next game which was against Phil Nodding. The first game was won by Phil 15-10 playing some good squash. Rob came back to win the second game 15-12 this was turning in to a real battle. Phil came back to win the next game 15-11, now it was Robs chance to turn on the magic and come back with a great win unfortunately Rob lost again. Rob was now down 2-1 and Dan had a chat with Rob passing on some technical advice before his next game, this looked like Rob was going to come back but due to Rob playing a league game before the team game he lost the final game 15-07. Well done Rob good effort.
   Next up was Andy Lawrence he was playing against Colin Ripley, the first game was a good battle we watched Andy win 15-11 this was looking like Andy had it in the bag. Think again Colin won the next three games 15-08, 15-10 and 15-09 “WHAT HAPPENED ANDY” well done Colin great come back.
   The final game had Dan Cusack playing against Mike Farley the first game was won by Dan 15-12 then the second 15-13 this was it Dan was going to save Concordia some face, unfortunately Mike had other ideas he won the next game 15-13 then battled to win again 15-13. This set the final game up to be a real battle but Mike was feeling the pressure and Dan came across the stronger player winning 15-06. Well done to both lads this was a good match to watch and a special thanks to Dan who got us a vital 3 points.
   Thanks go out to Consett 4 who played some good squash and great team play we are already looking forward to the rematch lads.

Concordia Mens 1st team results

10/11/2015

The men's 1st team had a tough start to their 2015/2016 season with their first 3 fixtures against potential promotion prospects.

The opener was away to Northumberland 2, always a team with strength and depth. Concordia could only manage 7 points with wins from Tony Hedley and Simon Long.


The second match, also away, was against a team who came down from the Premier league last season. Even with one or two missing Sunderland 1 were a formidable outfit. Only Ian McAllister, playing at 5 managed a win on gloriously warm courts which suited him. Just 4 team points to show for this Wearside venture.


The next 2 matches were at home where 'cooler' courts might have offered some advantage. Not so against the young University 2 team all of whom hit the ball so very well and covered the court with ease. 7 points was all the team could muster.


The latest fixture offered some respite with 20 points from a slightly older Hexham team who tried to come to terms with not only Concordia's colder courts but a sprinkling of dust to boot. Not our finest hour but we needed those points.


The 4 remaining fixtures on the run up to Christmas offer an opportunity to add some points and get somewhere near mid table although Tynemouth 2 early December will be a big ask.

The fixture list is on the wall at the back of the courts, home games are played on Thursday evenings, come along and support the team.
