Rodmershams baptism to Priory squash ended in tears as they were thrashed by a side with NB playing No3 (registered at 7) and Alex Igham playing 1 (registered ay 4/5!!!!!!!!!!!!). 
I think the league committee should seriously look at whether this division is to continue as Kent Priory or change to a SPL league.  |

I bet the cascades guys were a bit put out by not actually getting into their own side!
Especially after all that pre season training. |

Who could have predicted??
Strange that as I was given thew following names for the fantasy league purposes..
1) Neil Baker
2) Mo
3) Ashley
4) Stuart
5) Mike Stimson
Might have to re-adjust the fantasy listings..
If Ingham is nominated 4/5 who on earth is at 1,2,3 etc? |

I don't think you would want their top 6 in your fantasy league as they will only play in select games I am sure. |

Many thanks to Rodder's for a great evening, great guys, and some amazing squash.
Have to disagree with HS on a couple of his points. firstly this league is definitely not to strong for their team. Everyone thinks of JB who is incredible but don't realize how strong the rest of the team is  
Malcolm at 2 is going to have some great game against the others and his mid-court kills , wow
Graham at three I don't think will loose to other no3 in the league. Graham has been beating NB recently. Got to say NB play some fantastic squash (I believe he's been to the gym now ). He'll be back to number uno next week so more court sprints NB, and please drag Fatboy and Sicknote with you
I manged to watch the half of Tony's first game against Fatboy where he took a 5-0 lead and thought that's it, Tony's got this one. Fatboy who's form has been on fire recently then managed to use his main tactic which is to drag the opponent down to his level and game over.
MC is a very strong no5 and I don't think he will loose more then one or two games this season.
The result could have been very different, very easily. I thought it was going to be 3-2 either way.
Sicknote will post full match report once his nurse has come to help him out of bed.
Before the season most people agreed that Priory Div1 is not a club squash league, it is really the replacement for the Kent super league and Rodder's are definitely in the right league

OM, Steptoe has retired (although we are still trying to change his mind), Stimson is out for most if not all of the season with an injury, and Mo is still looking for his bat, but has promised to find it before next week.
So with NB, SL, and AT playing only Mo was missing from the normal Cascades team. |

ML, they will be the regular players and in my opinion it would not be fair to have others put into the FL as they might only play 2 or 3 games at most. Having said that 1,2,and 3 aren't around on the 11th, fancy re-arrange for the following week  After all as Gossip and a couple of others have said Cascades are full of hot air  |

OM, who knows? I hope it will end up with some great squash being played and the real reason behind it being that the clubs members (in particular the juniors) will have some great squash to watch and learn from |

Good match last night against Cascades, shame the other teams seem to be strengthened by bringing players in, but we lost NB to the opposition where he played 3!!! Our club No4 playing our club No2 was always going to be tough. Don't worry Graham, PWP are selling those rackets cheap I think!
Had a good evening and no complaints about getting beaten, just would be good to see Cascades play the same team and order all season so a fair reflection of the league could be seen. Nothing against players being bought in, but maybe it would be better to keep it consistent...
On a different point, what is Phil Crane doing at 1 for Mote? And if he really is beating Darren Heathfield and Sean Wardman what training has he been doing since playing 4 or 5 in the OK winter league.
Looking forward to some real tough matches this summer (for a change) and seeing Phil Crane play John Brewer again. Last time Phil was in a heap at the front within 6 points. |

Craney's not #1, he's down at #3 for the summer, I think.
New lad Johnny is at 1, with Rude Boy Knowlesy at 2.... |

Have to agree with lardyboy great game and great hosts. Think he's being unfair on Graham as he's been beating both Neil and Malcolm lately and should on the evidence of the two games I watched be playing above Malcolm with all due respect.
NB wasn't sure if he was going to win the game. As I said I had Tony down to beat Fatboy and I thought the JB vs AI could go either way before the match. I think it was closer then the score reflects and it showed that JB's not quite back to his full strength after that running lark 3 or 4 of these tough games and he'll be back at his brilliant self. |

Thank god for that, at least Rodders will get one 5-0 this summer With the 1 and 2 playing will you still play Shaun and Darren or will yourself/Canon be sacrificed? Thats a good 3,4,5 wih OG, SW DH:shock: |

Mote v Rodders has got 3-2 written all over it...
Darren would win
Sean would win
And then, it's 50/50 on the Rude Boy (if he's really up for it)! |

If you recall lardy, my season wass rudely interrupted by a serious ankle injury that kept me out of the side for nearly 3 months and I returned when not fully fit and therefore played down. My results against other players in my team stand up to any scrutiny having beaten and lost to them and you may possibly agree that you yourself wouldn't get too many points off of JB.
By the way if you do want to get fit then I can suggest twice a week circuit training, 20 - 20 - 20, step aerobics and body pump at Dragons in Maidstone. If you do something similar then I'm sure that your natural talent would benefit from such a regime.
As someone said elsewhere on this site Ian Hatch bt Mo this season and I beat Ian 3 - 0. Does that make me better than both of them? A lot of it's about good and bad days for most of us and we shouldn't be denigrating each others abilities. |

Isn't it lovely to have the HoneyMonster back online. I've missed his cutting wit...
Ps. OG, probably not wise to let people know you are active in the 'STEP' and 'BODY PUMP' circles.
I've seen that turquiose all-in-one lycra in your kit bag!!! |

OG, I must have underestimated your game a little, not trying to be rude or anything, you know me!
And Overthehill - it's Tom not Tony, and will we have the same team to play against us on the return, as I would like to play Stuart again if I can. |

Not knowing your No1 cannot comment on outcome
Malcolm would definitely beat Peter
Graham would beat Phil (sorry OG)
Tom and Darren will be a good close game
Shaun will be difficult to beat at 5
So a 3-2 sounds like a good call |

OG I watched you systematically take Ian apart, very impressed (and you still didn't spill a drop of wine either)  |

Sorry Tom, yes it will probably be the same team. It depends when we are due to play the return game, but Stuart will be 4. The only change might be Alex as I know he's off to Egypt for 6 months for training so we may have different number 1. |

Honest and PJnr - I would fancy my chances at 2 against Mote, have never lost to Old Git, and would be very confident at 4, after winning at 2 against them in the winter when Darren played 4!
I don't know why Sean is at 5 in the first place, he would beat Darren and Oldgit too I am sure, he beat Hunter in the winter league.
I suppose Mote have a got a couple of players in, and there are more ways than one to enhance the teams performance. They have a new 1 and 5 taking the pressure off the other players a little, put Sean in the correct position and the team would be much weaker. Darren v Martin at 5 that would be a better match, Lardyboy v Oldgit, GH v Sean - now tell me it's a 3:2 with MP and JB leading the team. |

Lardy,
Just to set the record straight. I was not sure where to put Sean or how often he would play. I was also a little confused by the numbering system when i registered the team which was all very last minute.
For information and so we dont get accused for 'order shuffling' the team initially registered was as follows:
1Jon Powell
2Peter Knowles
3Phil Crane
4Darren Heathfield
5Sean Wardman
6Paul Adam
7Simon humphrey
8Me
I cant remeber the rest but surely thats enough for you to digest. To date i still dont know if Darren has actually beaten Phil. A recent match between Phil and Sean was a close 3-2 to Sean but the team was already registered.
With 1 and 2 missing the 1st match i am sure you can work out why Phil played 1. To stop the comments that are already being made i called fixture/results secretary the morning after our match and asked if it was possible to swap Sean and Phil's position as clearly Sean needed to be higher. Nothing intentional which is why i asked to change them straight away. It would not have made any difference on the night. It was agreed at this early stage and bearing in mind our late entry that the change could be made.
I watched Sean's performances at this weekends tournament and feel the decision totally justified!! |

As i said Sean came along late and said he wanted to join us. I was not sure how many matches he wanted to play. His position on the night would not have made any difference to the result.
I discussed with Sean before the change was made and we both agreed it was the best decision.
I've watched Sean recently and feel he is a much improved player from the one i saw against Peter Knowles last season. |

He is now at 3 as stated in the response to the thread. By the time we get the usual casualties higher up the order the poor guy may well now end up playing 1or2 as he is tomorrow |

Canon, no problems with your team order just a bit of fun. I just know how Sean gets into matches and saw him beat Harraway in the winter too, coupled with his score line in your first match he looked well out of place. |
