What an awesome start to the new squash season. It was great to see some old faces reappear. Although some of the old faces had some rust on their squash games.
The night started off fast with a surprising upset of Justin Warnock by Tim Majocha. Majocha made quick work of Warnock by winning, in a convincing fashion of, 3 games to none. Majocha’s shots painted Warnock into the corner in which Warnock had no answer. So proud of his victory Majocha was offering free Behr paint to anyone who was watching the match.
The best match of the night was between Todd “New Kid on the Block” Brancaccio against Craig “Old School” Guthrie. Guthrie who has been a ghost around the club lacked te cardio fitness and was forced to rely on his shot making ability. This played right into Brancaccio’s hands as his game is built around running down shots and long rallies. The match went to a fifth game with a final score of 10 – 9 for “Old School”.
Another thrilling match last night saw Steve “Michael Douglas” Byrne go up against Peter Brett. Both showed sign of brilliance but at times displayed some summer rust. This battle went back and forth. The match was so tough that Byrne was forced to bring out his patent shot “The Byrne Drop Shot”. If you are not familiar with this shot it is a fake length drop shot that Byrne has down to a science. Despite this Brett prove to be too strong and in the end won the match in the fifth game
