Played 8 won 3, but in the semis of the cup”……that is the story of the first half of the season.

After a bright start the team suffered a massive blow (as did the squash court floor) when Matt Jones tore his achilles, ruling him out for the rest of the season. Our big guns (Luke, Nick Atkins and Connor) have been largely absent so overall we have done well to hold our own in this competitive division.

Aaron with 6 wins and 2 losses (one of which playing at number 1) has been the pick of the team but everyone has chipped in the hard fought victories throughout. Our resident pro, Dan J, is yet to win a match but given he is playing at number 2 and with his wrong hand, he is certainly giving some his opponents a long journey home and considering auctioning their rackets on e-Bay.

Somewhat surprisingly this year, everyone has managed so far to avoid the curse of the 12yr year old superstar (Barry) and/or loss to a member of the fairer sex (too many to name and shame) but some have certainly been close….and we have 8 more matches to go.

Hope for the second half of the season is a decent up run and to avoid relegation….but so was Aston Villa’s…!!!
