B GRADE SQUASH REPORT

Some unexpected results last week! Larry Maat (Hillross) trounced Kym Kleven 3-0 only allowing Kym 1 point against his 27! Do I hear A grade calling you Larry? On the other hand his daughter Trinity for same team proved no match for Lyn Elton and only scored 4 points. Well played Lyn as Trinity has been improving weekly. Also for Hillross Darcy Clayton had a good win against the ever cagey Karyn Sutton and only let her score 14 points. On the bright side for Snowy Hydro Mat Nader took David Hogan to the cleaners  27 pts to 14.

Sarah Hamilton proved she can still be a force to be reckoned with by taking B1 leader Tony Sergo to five games – winning the 2^nd and 4^th games quite significantly. Well done Sarah! Also for Cooma Trophy and Gifts Tim Wassink and Ned McDonnell had good wins against Corey Stockton and Leanne Corby.

Two newcomers to the game played a 5-setter – Jimmy Harding (Monaro Discount Tyres) and Abby Freimanis (Paul Dyball Builders). Abby eventually came out the winner 3-2, 39 points to 29. Great to see these youngsters getting right into the game.

Another upset was the game between Anika Jones (Mark Kenmir & Co) and Steve Johnson (Kleven Spain). Talk about changing fortunes – Anika won the first 9-0, lost the 2^nd 9-2, won the 3^rd 9-5, lost the 4^th 9-3 and won the 5^th 9-7.  There were some good long rallies and some excellent shots played before enthralled onlookers. Similarly there were some up and down scores between Sam Sergo and Leanne Kent. They were (Sam) 9-1, 5-9, 9-3, 5-9 and 9-6, with Sam coming out on top 37 pts to Leanne 28.

At the end of round 6 Cooma Cranes are way out in front on 85 points with only 4 points separating the next 5 teams –

Snowy Hydro 62; Mark Kenmir & Co 62, Monaro Discount Tyres 61; Kleven Spain 59 and Cooma Trophy & Gifts 58. With only 2 weeks left before the semis and finals it’s anyone’s guess for the first four places which gives a good indication of the gradings.
