| Report: | The alarm bells were deafening in South Central 2 as Cowbridge B appeared to be running away with the league at the halfway stage. So an emergency SWAT team were assembled and sent from Rhiwbina HQ to reign them in.
Just after 1830 hours, they raided the building, armed with rackets and wearing standard issue tracksuits and bobble hats. The B's had been tipped off by a mole in Squash Wales and were lying in waiting.
Al was kitted up and ready to go after an afternoon of pumpkin picking. Idiot! And despite being chopped up by Dan in the warm up, he was looking confident, sporting a tidy new barnet and a cheeky grin. Mark was up for the challenge and played some decent squash but couldn't stop the raging bull from taking the match in straight sets.
Si had spent the whole weekend watching Brokeback Mountain on repeat in Sean's secret basement and was looking visibly drained. Tim was playing hard ball (hello!) but the Silver Fox took it all in his stride and predictably won the match 3 nil.
El Capitan, after selflessly dropping himself last week, had 'played his way back into the team' by picking himself! He'd been in the club since 3 o'clock and was pumped after chopping up Al in the warm up. (Not sure if I mentioned that already.) After his 2 hour stretch routine, Julian's new knee was working better than ever while Dan's trademark volley drops sounded very metallic! Julian later described them as "either world class or absolute shit". Dan got his money's worth in this 5 set thriller before winning it off the frame.
The string 1 match got underway while we waited for Britney. Hass v Chris, both looking slick with matching black kit and luminous trainers. This one had all the signs of an epic encounter. Chris kept everyone guessing by giving Hass a 2 nil head start but the Ice Man kept his cool and turned the match around, winning it 3-2.
Jimmy finished his match in straight sets during one of Chris' longer rallies. Famous Welsh cricketer Tony, seemed to be enjoying the sound of 'rubber on plaster' but was stumped by Jimmy's repertoire which at times looked like a highlight reel from squash TV.
Another 20 points for the B's and the first murmurings of a season unbeaten wafted through the cool Cowbridge air. And as if things couldn't get any better, it was Pie Week at the Rugby club and all 10 players dined out like squash kings and were serenaded by the house band. |
