April 2017
This excellent annual fixture, played in superb,
friendly, ‘traditional squash club’ surroundings was
played on 13th April.
First on was No.2 our captain Dave Smith
and No. 5 Nigel Belle. Dave was in good
form and won 3/0 whilst Nigel was not in so good form,
playing a young, speedy ferret and lost 0/3.
The evergreen duo of John Woodliffe and
Lance Kinder took on fellow GB Vet
Jon Gransden and his partner. A close
match ended with an Ashtead win 3/1 – 15/13 in the
fourth.
Dave Parker No.3 and new GB Vet
Graham Jolly at No.4 both won in fine style
3/0.
Mike Stewart No.1 was last on and
having marched to a 2/0 lead, narrowly lost the third
but managed to just win the fourth 10/8.
So a win for the GB Vets - 4/2 in matches, 13/7 in
games.
Words of thanks from both Captains whilst devouring an
excellent meal and supping various liquids ended a most
enjoyable evening. Roll on next year!
