Wellington 2nds taken to the cleaners again.

After two weeks with out a match Wellington Squash Club 2nd team played away against Wyvern 2nd team.
Mike Broom was never in contention against the Wyvern no.1 and lost 5-9, 0-9, 0-9. Phil Hobbs at no.2 had a hard game. Phil won the first game 9-7, but narrowly lost the second 8-10. He lost the next two games 2-9, 2-9 to go down 1-3.
Brian Davenport at no.3 had to take on the Wyvern player who before Christmas was playing at No.1. It was not a hard fast game, more of a cat and mouse game and with the courts being a little cold the ball could hardly have warmed up. Brian was in contention in the first and third games but lost 7-9, 2-9, 7-9.
James Luard back from his overseas jaunts fared a little better but eventually lost 1-3 with game scores of 3-9, 9-10, 9-6, 0-9.
At no.5 Phil Hart stood in for the absent Phil Griffith. This match was a contest of who could hit the ball the hardest. Phil lost the first two games 6-9, 2-9. He did however win the third 9-0 which in part was possibly due to the fact his opponent had a broken racket. With a new racket in his hand the Wyvern no.5 quickly wrapped up the final game 9-2 to win 3-1.
The final match score was Wyvern 2nds 18 Wellington 2nds 3.
Next week Wellington 2nd team take on Wellington 3rd team.
