B GRADE SQUASH REPORT

Whilst there were some great games in round 3 it was very disappointing to have a number of last minute forfeits. Making it hard on the players who turned up to play their game.

There was a great game between Leanne Corby and young Abby Freimanis. Leanne was subbing as her original opponent was not present. She won the first game 10-9 but lost the next two 9-5 and 9-2. Not prepared to concede Leanne took a deep breath and won the final two 10-9 and 10-8 with some long rallies. There were 81 points played in that match! 

Alex Corby took no time in disposing of Alex Childs in three as did Lockie Sturgeon against Jimmy Harding.  It was left to another Corby – Ian – to make amends for his team Monaro Discount Tyres when he played Corey Stockton.  They both played good games but Ian was just too accurate and won in four notwithstanding the fact that they had some really good long rallies.

Chris Tame made up for last week’s loss and had all the answers for Kym Kleven’s shots defeating her in three and only conceding 15 points. Lyn Elton for Snowy Hydro made up for it by taking Leanne Kent to the cleaners and only conceding 11 points.

Narelle Rosewarne (Kleven Spain) made Larry Maat (Hillross) work hard when she won in 5 long games. Larry Maat came out the worse for wear sporting a huge bruise on his cheek from a wayward ball. They finished up 38 points each with the final game going Narelle’s way 10-8

Bernie Harding will probably miss out on having his dinner cooked for a few days as he showed no mercy in defeating his wife Gayle 3-0 and only conceded 7 points!

First four teams on the ladder are as follows:

Cooma Cranes 44;   Kleven Spain 35;  Monaro Discount Tyres 31 and Cooma Trophy and Gifts 30.

B GRADE SQUASH

The second week of the autumn comp had some interesting matches. For Snowy Hydro Mat Nader took on Corey Stockton and went to 5 games.  He lost the first to Corey (Cooma Cranes) 9-3 and took the next two 9-6, 9-2. Then Corey found a new lease of life with some great winning shots and won 9-4.  Not to be outdone Mat pulled out all stops and had some great rallies to win the last 9-4. A great exhibition of good squash.  Lyn Elton for Snowy Hydro proved no match for Leanne Corby to win in 3, then later in the night played again for Cooma Trophy and Gifts against Trinity Maat and won in 3 once more.  A good result for a player who travels from Bibbenluke each week to play.

Steven Johnson overcame his stiffness from last weeks game to demolish Jacqui Schofield (Paul Dyball Builders) in 3. This was followed up by Jimmy Harding taking Abby Freimanis to 5. Total points for this match was 77 showing there were a lot of hand-outs. Jimmy won 3-2 by 40 points to 37.  Jason Harris made up for Abby’s loss by convincingly beating Eloise Blanchard 3-1. For the opposition team Kleven Spain, Narelle Rosewarne showed some of the talent she still has by only conceding 7 points to Stuart Wood who was a sub for the night.

Larry Maat,  Darcy Clayton and Bernie Harding playing for Hillross had wins over Sarah Hamilton, Richard Shingles and Matthew Oost (Cooma Trophy and Gifts).

First four teams after round 2 are Cooma Cranes 29, Monaro Discount Tyres 28, Kleven Spain 23 and Mark Kenmir & Co. 21 but with another 8 rounds to go anything could happen.

B GRADE SQUASH

Wow! 40 players in this comp! The first night went well with some new players settling in.

For Mark Kenmir & Co Darrell Gaukroger and Leanne Kent convincingly won their matches against Darcy Clayton and Trinity Maat, while Chris Tame lost out in a long 5 game tussle against Larry Maat.

Tony Sergo (Cooma Cranes) had an eventual win over Sue Walters (Paul Dyball Builders) but it took him 5 games to do it. Dane Freimanis (in only his second comp) had a very long game against his more senior Leanne Corby with Leanne taking the 1^st and 3^rd games.  There were some good rallies with Dane coming out the winner in 5.

It was good to welcome Steven Johnson back to the comp after an absence. He is playing for Kleven Spain and showed that he will be a force to be reckoned with when he took the well-playing Ian Corby to 5 games before winning the last to take the set. For the same teams Kleven Spain and Monaro Discount Tyres mother and son Gayle and Jimmy Harding played a grudge match, with Jimmy taking his mum to the cleaners and only conceding 8 points.

For Cooma Trophy and Gifts young Tim Wassink played Mat Nader (Snowy Hydro). Whilst he won in three the score gives no indication of the good long games they had. For the same teams Richard Shingles (coerced into coming back to squash) showed the he still has what takes when he took high flyer Eloise Blanchard to five and ended up winning the last game 9-1. We hope he was still able to walk on Friday! Well done Richard!

Welcome to Ned McDonnell, Corey Stockton, Matthew Oost, Jimmy Harding, Bernie Harding and Eliza Williams. We hope you enjoy the games and the fellowship with the Cooma Squash Club in this Autumn comp.
