We always new this was going to be a tough weekend we were not disappointed.
1st Match against the host Hertfordshire.
Phil Crane 3-1 win. Peter Willmor 1-3 lost. Ian Smith 1-3 lost. Arthur Harvey 2-3 lost. Peter Lewis 1-3 lost.
All very tough matches good win by Phil. Looking forward to our next match against Middlesex.
2nd Match against Middlesex.
Phil Crane 0-3 lost. Peter Willmor 1-3 lost. Ian Smith 3-1 win. Arthur Harvey 2-3 lost. Keith Hibberd 3-1 win.
Well played Ian & Keith giving Kent a good start by winning the opening matches, Arthur was looking good until he pulled his hamstring and narrowly losing 3-2.
All was not lost we picked up enough points in the first two matches and could get to the final weekend if we achieved a good win against Surrey Sunday morning and with Ken Randall being able to play we were going into the match with a positive attitude of getting our frst match win.
3rd Match against Surrey.
Phil Crane 0-3 lost. Peter Willmor 3-2 win. Ken Randall 0-3 (Retired). Ian Smith 0-3 lost. Keith Hibberd 3-0 win.
Again a fine performance by Keith getting the team of to a good start, however due to a hamstring problem Ken had to retire making the match score 1 each. I managed Kent's only other win by 3-2 a very tight match with all the games going to 9-7.
Final Placing. Surrey. Hertfordshire. Middlesex. Kent.
We all had a good weekend of squash and came away very tired with a few aches and pains our thanks to Hertfordshire for hosting the event.
Next for Kent the relagation weekend 27/28th February.
