Div 1 - 2-2, win on games

Sweet revenge for last season, 2 rubbers all, won on games.  The result capped off a terrific season for the team;

Trev - down in a hard 5 setter to a plucky junior – but won a valuable 2 games.

Shane G – showing exactly why he’s nicknamed “textbook”, almost faultless display to win 3-0

Huw – a hard ask against an emerging junior, gave 100% but down in 3

Tim – needing a win to secure the pennant – ridiculously good squash that was appreciated by all watching – a dominant win in 3

Div 4 - 3-0 win

Although missing their number 1 player (Rob M), everyone lifted for a 3-0 win, only conceding 1 game;

Jayson – peaked at exactly the right time, convincing win in 3

Alan – a little slow out of the blocks, but nice long and short game once he got going – 3-1 win

Jeremy – with the job already done, a 3-0 win in a no-pressure match

Div 9 - 3-0 win

Local derby with the Queanbeyan 1 team confirming their season dominance with a 3-0 win over the Queanbeyan 2 team.

At number 1 Tom had a very close win over James G 3-1, but 31 points each!  Tom was forced to do a lot of running, and an ankle injury to James probably shortened a very good match in Toms favour.

Justin then went out to try and turn things around for the Q2 side. In a glimmer of hope he got the first game, but then a tenacious (and fit) Leigh fought hard to win the next 3 for the Q1 team to take an unassailable lead.

With the night already decided, John M continued his good season form to record a 3-0 win over a tiring Trent, who was obviously feeling the effects of the previous nights 5 setter.

Div 10 - 1-2 loss

Didn’t get to see a whole lot of these matches, but a 1-2 loss that come down to the last match;

Phil – competitive loss in 4

Mick M – got the night back on level terms with a strong 3-0 win

Trent – a nail-bitter that came down to a 5 setter, unfortunately got pipped at the post.

Div 16 - 1-3 loss

A very close 3-1 loss, that could easily gone the other way except for a few crucial points;

Ben – found things a lot easier when he got some depth in his game, rewarded with a win.  (mildly distracted with a baby imminently due!)

Joe – difficult game against a hard running opponent, 100% commitment including diving to make shots, just down in 5.

Scott W – unfortunate I didn’t get to see this match – but I understand a loss against a very strong reserve. A competitive season though.

Michael G – again didn’t see this match, but came up against a fast and hard hitting opponent.
