Report

I have to say that it was a really good night for Priory League Squash.  Lots of people at Parklangley supporting their clubs, it is a pity there was no attendance from any of  the Kent SRA committee.  I would have thought it would be a good night for the new president to introduce the new chairman to the nuts and bolts of Kent squash.  Considering the clubs and number of players taking part this is the heart and soul of Kent Squash.  Having said that I only saw some of the matches but what I saw was all the players contributing 100% and they all represented their clubs to the utmost of their ability.  Running the Parklangley team I was obviously interested in their matches, but I also saw an excellent match between Ollie of Sundridge and Shaun from Bromley LT.  Shaun winning 3-2.  In the Parklangley match there was some pretty good squash played, the most amazing of which was Clive beating Will 3-0.  You would have put a lot of money on Will but he could not seem to handle Clive’s excellent squash.  The match that stuck out most was another London, this time Steve, who nearly achieved an amazing comeback to just lose 15/11 in the 5^th.  General opinion was that this the best match of the night.  Steve just lost out to Neil’s steady play and experience.  Charles had another 5 setter with Peter, Peter doing some amazing retrieving at full stretch but unfortunately as most of us know age caught up with him again in the middle of the 5^th.  Well done all the winners and losers.  The main loser of the evening was the Kent SRA because as I said at the start they missed some excellent squash.  Perhaps next year they will make an appearance at the finals.  The Priory Leagues and Priory Cups contribute a large part to the finances of the Kent SRA income.  So in my opinion some of the committee should have made an appearance on such a good night for squash.  Finally I would like to thank ParkLangley Club and staff for their excellent facilities and their help in running the event.
