Dumfries 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.
