| Report: | With the country in turmoil over Brexit and seemingly rudderless the question on every man, women and child’s lips was ‘Is there someone out there that can lead us through these unprecedented times’ well my friends look no further than Brooklands 3rds skipper, young in years but herculean in action. Yes I’m talking about Gareth the young pretender Williams and he did not disappoint but later on this. The Brooklands team facing an uphill task against a Village Hyde side that are arguably one of the best side in the division (Well what do I know about squash) needed to get a good start:
First up was James cross court Woodmansey against Olli the gentleman assassin Woodcock. The gentleman assassin took the first game, but then the cross courts kicked in and James took the second forcing uncharacteristic errors from the gentleman assassin. The 3rd went the way of the assassin but James amazingly started to play drop shots that took the crowd and the assassin by surprize to level the game at 2-2. But class always comes through and the assassin took the rubber 3-2.
Our skipper the young pretender was up next against Dan I once beat Elshorbagy Majid. The skipper did not disappoint winning 3-0 how he did it is a mystery but one thing is for sure he has my vote for Prime Minister.
Glenn the lob Burns gave a great performance was on next only to go down 1-3 to James the hulk Tomlinson.
So it was up to Mike the hypochondriac Selisny playing Dave the shuttlecock Edgar to keep the match alive for Brooklands, however the shuttlecock was too strong, managing to pick the ball out of places on the court that everyone thought did not exist (the back corners) while eating a ham sandwich.
The match was lost but pride was at stake not to mention ranking points so last up was Geoff the pensioner Walton against Vish I have no fillings because I’m a dentist Aggarwal. The pensioner was distracted by the lightening white smile of the dentist losing the first game. However the pensioner levelled the rubber with his lightning speed, skill and deception (poetic licence again by me) Squash Levels please take note must be worth +10%. The dentist found his touch winning games 3 and 4 and won the rubber 3-1. However the pensioner did get two fillings, a crown and a hygienist clean for his efforts.
Finally I can’t sign off without mentioning James MacMillan from Brooklands first team who after the match managed to drink half a pint of bitter.
