Squash Tourament 2010
Men’s B Tournament
Ron v Paul – As part of this seasons Division 4 winning squad, both players were now about to go head to head to see who would be crowned the ‘Mens B Tournament Winner 2010’. Not knowing whether Paul would be facing a ‘Ron’ whose shots were all just above the tin and hit at 200mph or a ‘Ron’ whose shots all went down under no pressure whatsoever, Paul set to work on trying to win the match. With a mixture of tight competitive rallies throughout, which put both players under pressure and unfortunately a string of unforced errors, mainly from Ron, this made for an enthralling encounter to watch. As a result Paul went on to win the match. Congratulations to Paul on his well fought 3-0 victory and better luck next year to Ron, whose rockets just weren’t firing on the day.
Final scores 15-17, 8-15 & 10-15.
Men’s B Plate Tournament
Glyn v Ray – With Glyn’s lack of court time and Ray looking like he was on deaths door, this was never going to be a classic. Despite this, both players managed to entertain the spectators with numerous short sharp rallies which consisted of some nice shot play. Unfortunately as quickly as the match started, it was also finished. As a result Ray won the match 3-0. Under the circumstances both players tried to play their best squash and in the end congratulations go to Ray who won it 3-0.
Final scores 4-15, 1-15 & 8-15.

Both were forcing errors out of each other, with Phil trying to draw Pat into long rallies and Pat trying to kill the ball at every opportunity with his power play. As a result of a keenly contested match, Pat won it 3-0. Congratulations to Pat on his battling 3-0 victory and better luck next year to Phil, who gave it his all on the day but it just wasn’t enough.
