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.

 

 

Spring 2010

Although not as successful as the Autumn 2010 “super season”, the club managed a healthy two minor premiers (div 4 and 11), and 4 out of 12 team made it to the grandfinals.  Of those, the div 9 team were our only winners, with the other three narrowly losing.

 

Div 4, 2-1 loss

Jayson Brenton played first against a young, fit and very enthusiastic opponent.  There were lots of long rallies, and in the end the younger legs simply had more “fuel” – 3-0 loss

Jeremy Keen – was pretty eager to pick-up a win over an opponent who beat him in 5 last time around.  Managed to get up 3-0 to put things back on level terms

Alan Featherston – playing against a “textbook” player who made very little errors, Alan worked extremely hard to pickup a game, but eventually went down 3-1

 

Div 9, 2-1 win

First up Leigh Woodbridge – cool, calm, and stuck to a game plan – back corners, back corners, back corners….mixing it up with low drives and good lobs.  Dictated and controlled the match – 3-0 win.

Tom Rueger then commenced his epic battle, a little slow out of the blocks, but finished strong.  Frustrated his opponent into errors with outstanding retrieving, and sharp volleying.  His backhand cross-court drives wore his opponent down to record a 3-2 win

With the night already won Trent Greentree stepped on court, despite giving 100%, his opponent could do no wrong – Trent managed to grab the third game with glimpses of his true form, but his opponent was too consistent – a 3-1 loss.

Mention should be made of  the teams 2 regular players, John Mannweiler and Brendon Liew, who couldn’t play because of injury and interstate travel.  Their efforts throughout the season earned the team a spot in the GF.

 

Div 5, 2-1 loss

Duncan Treasure may have been a little over-eager on the night, and wasn’t able to settle in to his normal confident game.  His opponent dictated play from the middle of the court, although Duncan’s commitment was 100% - including diving to play shots,  he lost 3-0.

Shane White – was probably unlucky not to go to 5 games, with his opponent hitting a fortunate series of nicks to win the third game.  Shane’s boast game was just a fraction off, and his opponent capitalised , a loss 3-1

Rob Moon – playing for honour, gifted his opponent  the first 2 games with shot’s spraying in to the middle of the court.  Third and fourth games were much better with tighter shots and fewer errors.  The fifth game was near perfect winning 9-1, hence winning the match 3-2…a super effort considering Rob was playing with badly blistered feet.

 

Div 11, 2-1 loss

Trent Greentree was backing up again after playing the previous night in the winning div 9 team.  His legs may have been a bit jaded, hitting many unforced errors.  His opponent on the other hand simply couldn’t play any better earning a 3-0 win

Phil Gallagher – came up against a white hot reserve who appeared to be considerably strong for a div 11 team.  Regardless, Phil showed his usual tenacity and was rewarded by winning the third game. His opponent however lifted a gear to win 3-1

Trent Greentree – having to play twice with no. 1 player James Gunn a late withdrawal because of illness. Trent played out of his skin in the match of the night.  The match was a 5 setter with both players dominating at different times during the match.    Trent played best when he slowed down and executed his shots well, this frustrated his opponent in to errors.  Running on nothing but fumes, he dug deep to win 3-2 – a terrific result.

 

 

Autumn 2010

Probably the best season for the club in many years- it was an outstanding Autumn Pennant Competition, with the Queanbeyan teams dominating the finals.

To put the season in perspective, we fielded 15 of the total 114 teams from all clubs, across 16 divisions, with the following results;

- 12 teams in semi-finals (div 3 (team 1 and 2), 4 (team 1 and 2), 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 , 13, 14, 16)

- 7 teams winning grand-finals to be Pennant winners (div 3 (team 1),4 (team 1), 7, 8, 12, 13, 16)
