In Dublin, Sue Strachan’s over 35’s team managed to come runners up to England in a very hard fought competition with 3-2 and 4-1 wins over Ireland and Wales respectively. England, however, just proved too strong and finished easy winners with Scotland coming out top in the “Celtic Nations Cup”.
Sue was delighted with the performance of her team and her individual performance. “I played the best tournament squash I have ever played particularly against Ireland’s Jenny Dillon in the deciding match of the tie with the score at 2-2.” Jenny had beaten Sue easily in their one previous encounter and so the form card suggested she would be victorious again. “The spirit in the Scottish team was great though and the others had battled too hard to get us into that position for me to fail them. I had a job to do for my team so I just went out and did it.”
