Squash: So Below rise to the Top
1 04 2010The So Below squash team won Division 1 of the John Henderson and Sons D and G Squash League with a crushing win over Finite Engineering.
The final week of the D and G Squash league opened with So Below holding a slim lead over Bard Vets with Finite Engineering also still in the running.
Bard Vets won their last match on Monday night with a convincing win over Noblehill and thus led the league by five points.
Needing six points to seal the league title, So Below were quietly confident but expected a close contest with Finite.
On the night, however, Finite’s No.1 player withdrew due to illness, which put pressure on all their remaining players to play up a position.
In the end, this proved too big a task, and after the first two matches of the night, So Below had secured the necessary six points with 3-0 wins for Robert Grierson and Keith Gristwood.
The remainder of the team continued the run with 3-0 wins for Sue Strachan and Jim Scriven, and a 3-1 win for Jimmy Wells to secure maximum points and the league title.
Division 1: Noblehill 3 Bard Vets 17; So Below 18 Finite 1.

Squash: Dumfries bag two titles at nationals masters
1 04 2010Dumfries Squash Club was represented at the ultimate Scottish Squash Masters tournament of the season, the Scottish Nationals in Aberdeen and came away with two titles and two runner-ups, even though several players missed the tournament due to injury or other commitments.
Davy Rogan comfortably won all of his round-robin matches to secure the O-75s title and top the Scottish rankings again.
In the O-45s current Scottish Champion Jimmy Wells was in excellent form once again.
He won his quarter-final 3-1 and in the semi-final he defeated Lockerbie’s Ronnie Carter 3-0.
In the final he faced Mike Spalding who had just moved into the O-45s. In a close first set, Wells took a 5-1 lead but was under constant pressure and a burst racket string broke his momentum resulting in losing 9-7.
In the second set, Wells struggled to regain control and lost that 9-3. In the third set, he again took a strong lead only to be pegged back and finally losing 9-6.
While not retaining his Scottish title, Jimmy Wells could take some comfort from topping the O-45 Scottish rankings. Read the rest of this entry »
