| Report: | After what feels like a lifetime away Whitby opened its doors and welcomed Heswell 5’s to our humble abode.
Heswell were very prompt showing up ready to get on court at 7 bells so proceedings got underway early with David v BRIAN! Sorry for shouting but he’s deaf, good job Mike was refereeing the match I could hear what was going on from the other court. Didn’t start too well for Dave with BRIAN! taking an early lead before The Hoff composed himself and with the Baywatch theme tune playing in his head he found his rhythm and comfortably took the match. “Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light….” Sorry got distracted.
On court 2 was John v Lucy who during the knock up looked like a very tricky opponent athletic and tight down the lines John was twitchy bum time and points where going to be dropped. He need not have worried though as he didn’t give her a look in playing the percentage shots & keeping her at the back of the court forcing her to try winners from difficult positions ensuring the match was over before it started and Whitby were 2-0 up.
Next on was Charlie v Paul, spoiler alert Charlie won. Paul had a personal point target in his head and I wished he had told Charlie beforehand as he wouldn’t have been so graceful in the 2nd game and hit it out of court @ 10-0 up. Charlie got the job done 3-0 and used a single piece of tissue to dab the sweat of his head. Think we’ll have to take the strings out of Charlie’s racket soon to give him a game.
So 3-0 and the bonus points are Whitby’s next on is Shaun (won’t move) v Keith (can’t move). I have no idea what’s happening to Shaun lately but I’m sure he’s going to snap out of it soon and get in to his flow if not for us then for his wife’s sake. Take nothing away from Keith who finished off the match in style and deserved the victory.
Last on was Mike v Dave and was probably the closest contest of the night. Mike doing his usual kill shots catching Dave out but all of sudden those kill shots became tin shots and Dave took charge. Mike tried to fight back and kept the game very close before showing the supporting balcony the most can’t be arsed attempt at the ball I’ve ever seen and gifted the match to Dave. Mike maximum effort is the minimum requirement at Whitby!
All’s well that ends well and victory for Whitby was overshadowed by the welcoming and arrival of our new boy Joe McGoldrick who like Charlie has realised there’s more to Thursday nights than just the squash. He’s left the cucumber sandwiches and pomp of Tattenhall for the pints, shite food and late nights of debauchery of Whitby. Welcome aboard Joe great to have you!
