B grade squash report:
Another good round was held last Thursday. There were a number of 5-setters which shows
that many of the gradings are spot-on. For Hillross their no. 1 Peter Luk had
to pull out all stops when playing Larry Maat (Monaro Discount Tyres). They
kept swapping the lead right to the end – the last game going to Peter 10-9 in
a thriller. Peter looked as if he had
just stepped out of the shower when he came off the court! Only 3 points
separated them at the end.
Kailey Tonini again played David Hogan (who was a sub.)
Instead of a 3-0 victory last week David made her work for her points and was
defeated in 5 by 3 games to 2. Kim
Kleven (Kleven Spain) had a long match against Sarah Hamilton (Cooma Trophies
and Gifts) and although winning more points(35-32) she lost by 3 games to
2. Again the last game was a thriller with
Sarah coming up trumps 10-9!
Tony Potter (Kleven Spain) who has been undefeated this
comp. had to use all his skill against Jacqui Schofield (Cooma Trophy and
Gifts). She took out the first game 9-4,
lost the next two 9-2,9-2 and rallied to take the next 9-5. But the ever cagey Tony – the second most
senior player in the comp – took the final game 9-5 and thus the match.
Some other successful winners on the night were Steve
Johnson def. Mathew Nader 3-0, Alex Walters def. Jed Mackay 3-1, Sam Pearce
def. Bryn Jones 3-1 and Matt Shirvington def.Lyn Elton 3-1. The B1 players had
better watch their backs with Steve Johnson charging through the ranks!
There were some fairly low team scores on the night because
of absences. It also should be noted
that if you are unable to play for your team and a sub is used with the present
method of scoring the sub gets no points for the team whether he or she wins or
not and the opponent gets the full 4 points. The result does show up on
individual scorings however.
Team results on the night were: Hydraulinks Cooma 11 def.
Cooma Crane Hire 4; Cooma Trophy and Gifts 14 def. Kleven Spain 10;Mark Kenmir
& Co. 11 def. Paul Dyball Builders 4 and Monaro Discoun Tyres 13 def.
