2nd DECEMBER 2022
Always an enjoyable close fixture and this year
proved no exception.
Andy Davies at No.2 and Adam
Rich at No.3 started the evening off with Andy
winning relatively easily 3/0 whilst Adam had 4 close
games and won 3/1.
Cathy Ruffle at No.1 playing excellent
squash lost the first, easily won the 2nd, narrowly lost
the 3rd 16/18 and succumbed 7/15 in the 4th.
Dan Sweeney playing his usual effective
slightly unorthodox game won 3/1.
So with the match effectively won the two reluctant
match managers, Purley’s GB Vet Fabio Goriup
and GB Vets Nigel Belle took
to the court, the original No.1’s for both sides having
withdrawn injured.
In a see-saw match which saw Nigel with 2 match balls
in the 4th surely would make it 4/1 but no he lost that
one and the 5th, so a GB Vets win 3/2.
Great post match chat and supper and all agreeing a
good time was had by all.
Our thanks to Fabio for arranging such an enjoyable
evening of squash, food and banter!
