| Report: | The Second's fine run of wins comes to a shuddering halt against their table topping home rivals! I'd like to say it was close, though in reality, there was a gulf in class in the top order. Paul chased valiantly but got little change from the clinical Rory, who was clearly in a rush to get off court and up to the bar! Will J gave it 100% and as always covered every inch of court, but effort alone would not be enough against the talented Bishop, who, just like the recent Church of England child abuse scandal, was bang on point with his deft touch and probing length! Matt 'NY Bagel Co' Delaney had the bit well and truly between his teeth and was seeking revenge against Willow the Wisp Wearden. A controlled and one-sided game, bar the second, with the laconic lefty romping home 3-1 and putting the first points on the board. Next up, the mercurial Lee "drop shot on a sixpence" Jemmett against Nick 'Ginger Ninja' Mulvey. A veritable exhibition of squash and at times neither his opponent nor the crowd knew where the ball was going, if Lee got himself fit he would be the real deal. However, just as night follows day fitness will always reign supreme, a highly enjoyable 3-0 loss! Last on, Kris Big Spuds' Davis. He talks a great game and if he was as good as he thinks he is, he'd be unplayable. In the build up, much like the over hyped Tyson fight, Kris, with much swag, dissed and cussed his opponent and for two games it was one-way traffic with victory virtually assured. I mean, no one loses from 2 up do they. Umm. Schadenfreude they shouted from the balcony, Kris Krumbled, and like a deflating balloon watched inexorably as his opponent ground out the win in five. A humbling day at the office, as Iron Mike says, everybody gotta plan until they get punched in the face! On a happier note, and in his own words, Matt produced the finest chili known to man, which is nice. 5 well earned points and a 10 for the food. See you in 2025! |
