The penultimate round of racketball league games happened last night – explosive!
Heswall 57’s v Lymm
Ben Adams is proving to be a firecracker of a number 5, with a 3-0 opening win against Minnie Wood. Seb Gardiner was up next, playing at 4. He entertained the crowd, taking the game to a five set tie-break before snatching away a near famous win for his opponent. Paul Grannon then stepped up at 3 with a fairly routine win over David Jordan, 3-1. Bob Mc wasn’t in game for entertainment as he demolished Lymm captain, Mike Jordan 3-0. Sending him home with a final game 11-0 scoreline. I wouldn’t expect a Christmas card, Bob! Captain fantastic, Tom Clark was top of the order and provided an entertaining display over the useful looking Paul Jordan. Another 3-1 win and a 20-4 win for our 57s.
Heswall Racketeers v Crosby Nicks
Our Racketeers side had the opportunity to move top of the league with a win over a strong Nicks team. I was out first against the lively Mark Murray and a straightforward 3-0 victory followed, setting the tone for the night. Matt Stapledon was up next in what was a clash of styles – playing the cushioned volleyer, Tommy Stevenson. Matt delivered another 3-0 win. Up stepped Andy Corran for his racketball debut against the fast-paced Matt Fell. Andy looked like he’d played this game before and won comfortably, 3-1 for the team win. Then came the big hitters! Peter Barton took on the In-form Gary Powell. Class is permanent as Peter powered his way to yet another 3-0 win. Nicks had put out a strong team – headed up by the sharp looking Jason Cunningham who showed some brilliant shots. However, Mike Beecham is a step above brilliant and won 3-0. A head turning 20-1 win for our Racketeers, who move top of the league.
Neston v Heswall Variety
Our Variety team travelled down to the swamplands for a tasty looking match. Graham Rigby was up first, against the pacey Elliot Sutton. Elliot was quick off the mark too and took Neston into a 3-0 lead. Lewis Clarke then levelled the tie with a very impressive win over Justin Hussey, 3-0. Mark Evans then played another 5 setter, he toiled for the match momentum, but Jack Hussey stole it 3-2. Paul Rigby then levelled the tie, taking an impressive win over Phil Leach setting up a deciding class at the top of the order. Dan Parker v Andrew Potter to seal the win. Dan made no mistake, winning 3-0 and giving Heswall Variety a 16-5 win!
Crosby Lights v Heswall Fury
Looking for a full house, our Fury team travelled to Crosby in the hope of a good win and some good Pizza. Lee Bull and Mark Irvine both showed a tremendous effort but lost 3-1 to both Reece Mannion and Steve Kyriacou. The ever-improving Mark Jones then took Damian Boyle to 5 sets, narrowly losing in what was ultimately the match decided. Neil Walker recorded an impressive 3-0 win over everyone’s favourite Crosby star, Ade. Before our own star man Locky beat the powerful Alex Mannion in a five-set thriller. Crosby Lights win 16-10.
Player of the week is Lewis Clarke. Throw another shrimp on the barbie, mate!
Final call to enter the club Racketball Open, Handicap and over 50’s. It’s now or never!
