Special Edition Match Report
At the start of the season when the fixtures came out, it seemed written in the stars. Cowbridge B v Cowbridge C as the last game, whetted the appetite of every social squash player in South Wales and conjured up images of an almighty end of season party. But with the C's failing to secure safety last week, suddenly the balloons deflated, the bunting fell down and the fixture of dreams became what my kids would describe as.... 'totes awks'.
The Ice Man's back was "in bits" after the weekend, (We didn't ask why) so it was down to the Dark Knight, the bull, the fox, the retriever and the wendy house to fend off the lippy kids from the C team. Hang on, why have I got the worst name?
Anyway, (temporary) nicknames aside, Dan kicked off proceedings against Anna, aka The Tax Lady! Luckily, he'd seen his accountant earlier in the day and was well prepared for the meeting. Avoidance, evasion, whatever you want to call it, the northern wendy house didn't want to pay a penny and [with a heavy heart] he dispatched the Welsh international in straight sets. 1 nil B's.
The Highlander, Alex Meds, was looking jaded after his weekly trip to bonnie Scotland. He'd been all talk leading up to the game but suddenly lost his voice and wasn't able to test the recall qualities of the Golden retriever, who ran off with the ball, and the game. Cries of 'thats legal tender' would surely be heard over the post-match beers. 2 nil B's.
You just couldn't call this next one; beast versus bull in the string 2 game. In a massive act of provocation, the Beast of Broadhaven wore a red headband and the bull took the bait. He was angry from the start and The Tax Lady (reffing) had to work hard to keep the bull under control. It was only a matter of time before the match reached 14 all in the 5th! The beast called 3, the bull raged and pipped it 17-16 in front of a pumped crowd! 3 nil B's.
With the C's scrabbling for points, The Crafty Fox took on Mr Tickles. After a mixed season of poor results, on the court and in the bedroom, Si finally delivered what the (only) fans wanted! When this guy gets in his groove, he's like the Steve Davis of team squash. Way too crafty for Mr tickles, Simon showed his quality, got his game and his season back on track and to top it off, he got his fun size mars bar out in the rugby club. Interesting.
To bring the season to a close, the Dark Knight took on the Tin Man in what would be a repeat of their last encounter! James R started well and was looking more like a B team player with every rally. Jimmy was the master chocolatier and continued to show why he's such a class act. Despite the swim shorts and well dodgy purple t-shirt, he entertained the crowd with his shot making ability and pained facial expressions. The thrilling five setter went to the C's, giving them some much needed points in the race for survival.
Over in the rugby club, Anna beamed with pride as the modern men of Cowbridge shared stories of childbirth. Both teams partied hard and almost finished the pan of never-ending beans. Al claimed to be "the only bull in the village" in a pair of denim hot pants while James wore a corduroy baby grow and fake aftershave! Another great season of squash, beer and pie. WHAT A LIFE! |
