| Report: | It was a cold and windy night when the boys from Falmouth Town arrived in Bude, with Jago missing in action (sprained ankle) but still willing to play!, in stepped the old trickster and Bude stalwart Bobby (Rob) Irish to ensure that team order was not disturbed. First up, Bobby was playing a young pretender in the name of Neil Jenkin who likes a hard thrash but who couldn’t handle the somewhat unique style and sublime game management tactics that Bobby is infamous for, Bobby successfully rolling back the years - young Neil bowing out a looser without a game won – well done Bobby Irish!. Next up and new to Team Squash was our very own Fireman George (Elston) who was dealt a blow in the first game, being out foxed by Clive’s reverse boasts and pin point serves against the side wall. George soon found his touch and stamped his authority on the next 3 to run away with a 3-1 win, maintaining his 100% record in team squash. Playing next was Mark ‘gym bunny’ Hutcheson against Cornishman Billy – bunny Hutch taking the first two games outrunning his opponent who was now well on the ropes – his Foulmouth team mates with the white towel ready to rescue the Cornishman from certain death only for Billy boy to somehow pick himself up to take the next two games, quite to the astonishment (and disgust ☹) of the Buddists. Billy boy, now full of confidence, but low on fuel, was dragged around the court by the fuming bunny who had enough left in the tank to put Billy boy to bed, winning 3-2 in the end. And finally, as always, the one to keep watching was Geordie boy Gary, up against a new signing from Exeter, John Ross. A tight first game seeing John display his silky skills but the North Easterner coming out on top – this obviously stoked up John, who’s talent cannot be denied and John gave the Geordie boy a lesson on how to play (run around the court instead of being an outright a lazy arse) – despite this, the scores were tight – John taking the next two games. Suddenly, looking at an embarrassing loss, the Geordie woke up and listened to his coaches and began to actually ‘run’ on court (an unbelievable and rare sight, often commented on by Billy Irish in dispatches) – the Gazzatron taking the fourth game with aplomb – the final game seeing the Tron taking a six point lead maintaining this to the delight of the crowd who couldn’t believe the Power runs made by the Tron to ensure a clean win for all of the Buddists – WOW! rightly taking their place at the top of the league until the Juniors play again. The night ending with some wholesome pizzas which for some bizzar reason the delivery driver tried to deliver to the Hospital! Maybe Jago fancied getting in on the act - who knows! |
