Wellington 2nd team take a hammering at Wyvern.

Wellington squash club 2nd team played away against Wyvern 2nd team on Monday evening and came away with the tail between the legs.
James Luard started the evening and could not find any form and lost 5-9, 2-9, 0-9. Phil Hobbs was next on at no.2 and whilst there were good rallies in his match he too could not make inroads into his opponents defence and lost 5-9, 2-9, 7-9. Phil Griffith took on a Matt Gillingham, the assistant pro at Taunton and Pickeridge golf club. Phil started well and looked to be well placed to take the first game but following a questionable decision Matt suddenly galvanised himself into action and took the first game 10-8. The second game was also a close affair but again Matt edged it 9-7. The third game could not have been closer with the game score eventually going to Matt 10-9.
Brian Davenport was out of sorts and lost in short time going down 0-9, 0-9, 3-9. Mike Broom at no.1 was now playing to try and prevent a total whitewash. Mike took the first game 9-4. In the second game Mike reached game point first but as last week could not convert the opportunity and narrowly lost the game 9-10. Mike got back to winning ways to take the third game 9-6. Unfortunately he could not keep the pace going and after losing the fourth 5-9 fell away in the last game 1-9. The final score was Wyvern 2nds 18 Wellington 2nds 2.
