Argosy Allstars were left still seeking their first win of the season as Team AON beat them 4-1 in their squash A League match last week.

AON’s top two, Pat Fitzpatrick and Jason Crease, wasted no time in achieving 3-0 results while at third string Mason McLarney had a real battle with Rob Boyles, eventually winning 3-2 for AON.

At number five Chris Cave dropped the first game to Allstar Dave Hedley but fought back well to take the next three. The Allstars’ only winner on the night was Steve Morley who seems to be developing a game plan of taking the match to five games.

Cannell Print failed to break StoneArt’s unbeaten run as the latter came out on top as 4-1 winners. StoneArt’s Hamish Thornton and Angus Hopkinson both won without dropping a game, as did Cannell’s Oliver Wait.

The match between Rob Colquitt and Lyndon Cheetham was a close encounter but the latter man managed to get the important points to come out a 3-1 winner. StoneArt’s Jason Blue is relocating to Manchester at the end of the month so was in determined mood in his final match for the team, ending his tenure at the top of the StoneArt playing order with a 3-1 win.

A strong Sharks side outplayed Island Tyres and Exhausts, proving they are serious title contenders for this year’s B League honours.

Greg Ansara came back from losing the first game to win 3-1 for Sharks at five, while his team-mates Dave Freer and Alan MacNair both won 3-0. The other two matches were very close, both going to five games, but Sharks eventually came away with maximum points as Magnus Lamprecht and Douglas Jacobsson beat David O’Neill and Shaun Wylie respectively in two close-fought battles.

Argosy Juniors had a great result over Racketeers Pioneers. Isaac Quayle, Emma Leith, Christian Webster and Oliver Wait dispatched their opponents in straight games playing great attacking squash and having too much athleticism for the Racketeers players. The Racketeers’ sole win was through Marc Taggart who gained revenge on Ben Leith who had beaten him last time they met.

Argosy Juniors won 4-1 in matches and 235-186 in points.

Outcasts maintained their winning record with a 4-1 win over Crowe Dragons. Outcasts’ middle order players Chis Cave, Liam Davies and Mark Henson all won, with Davies the only one to drop a game.

The Dragons’ success came through Julien Uzzell who had three very close games with Pat Russell but managed to win the vital points - their points score was 45-40 which shows how evenly-matched these two players are.

The closest duel of this match was between Angus Hopkinson and Dragon James Martin. The ranking points of these players suggested the match would be close and it certainly was, but on this occasion Hopkinson got the win in five very tight games.

In the C League, Island Exhaust Vets managed to maintain their unbeaten run against a determined Outcasts team, coming away with maximum points.

Ian Sheard dropped the only game of the night against a resilient Andy McLarney who played plenty of good drop shots and ran Sheard close in each of the other games.

Gerrit du Toit, Les Callow, and Peter Sharples all won 3-0, as did Mark Stratford when his opponent unfortunately had to retire injured at the end of the second game.

The Falcons lost 3-2 to Chrystals Junior Academy in a close match. Falcons’ top player Julien Uzzell won in three straight games against Beth Jones, while Sarah Simpson at number five continued her winning streak beating Callum Larkin 3-0. But the juniors’ middle order players all produced good results, with Amaline Batty, Leighton Ginty and Emma Leith all getting wins for the juniors.

Santander Racketeers Academy hosted their sister team Hansard Racketeers in a very close battle at the NSC courts. Hansard Racketeers collected more points (215) than their opposition (208), although the Santander side won four of the five matches and collected the bonus 25 points in order to take the overall victory.

Santanders’ much-improved Andrew Brown won 3-1 but his team-mates Fraser Dorling, Harry Douthwaite and Martin Greenwood all worked harder for their 3-2 wins. Hansard’s only winner was Tom Burrows who had a convincing 3-0 win.
