Report
 
Report:After a fantastic start to the season, Cowbridge B's were looking to put another marker down and pretend they hadn't noticed how strong Rhiwbina look.

It was a business like performance by Dan in the 5th string game and 1st item on the agenda was 'level of victory'. Dan put forward the motion of a 3-nil win which was seconded by Owen and the motion was carried! Owen, who despite brandishing a rather ropey porn star moustache, didn't do enough to influence the meeting, he put up a good fight but unfortunately for him there wasn't Any Other Business. 1 nil Cowbridge.

Over on Hamlet Tim was feeling buoyed by his recent promotion to string 4, but more so after his giant killing win in the Cowbridge Box League against a premier league player who for his own safety shall remain unnamed. In a close fought game, Tim needed something, anything, to gain the advantage and decided the best way forward was to whack his opponent in the nose with the racket. A bold tactic but it worked a treat and he took the 5th to make it 2 nil Cowbridge. Nick milked it to be fair and made the most of the attention.

Al was in the mood tonight. Sorry I mean in 'a' mood. Lacking his usual cheeky spark he was looking for something to get angry about to lift his game. He tried directing this at the ref but the ref was way too cool and wasn't having any of it so his attention was redirected towards his opponent. Unfortunately for Al his opponent was Bev, who's really nice and wouldn't join in with Al's game. The slightest of coughs from Bev was enough to get Al vexed though and he turned this into some tidy squash to wrap up the game and make it 3 nil to the home side.

Back on Hamlet there was a robbery in progress. The police were called but didn't arrive in time to stop Simon walking away with the loot! The climax of the game was at the end of the second at 16 all, when officer Stu had Simon under caution in an epic rally and just at the point of reading Simon his rights, he let him slip away as his trickle boast fell short of the mark. Stu had grown his hair out over Christmas and whilst it probably looks great on his insta account, it was proving to be a distraction on court and seemed to need a lot of attention, sometimes during rallies, allowing Simon to take the 3rd and the match! The handsome lad from Llanishen, who could easily model for Loreal must have been asking himself, was it worth it.

Chris and Joe walked onto centre court like they owned it and were ready to entertain the hungry crowd in the finale. Chris put on a show and played some of his best squash but unfortunately this all took place in the first 3 rallies and after that it was all a bit run of the mill. Joe, who had a hold longer than a post office inquiry, was obviously getting bored and even tried to play on a different court. That court was busy so he rejoined Chris to see out the game and get a few much needed points for the away team.

Over in the rugby club, Tim, all grown up now with a kid and everything, thought it was fine to wear Crocs out in public. Not even real ones either, fake Crocs from Tesco. What is the world coming to?
