Excellent Start for Comberton Junior Third Team!

Comberton’s Junior teams have made a fantastic start to the season in the Tucker Gardner County Junior Leagues! Last Sunday (December 2) it was the turn of the Third Team to play their first fixture in Division 3. All our players were new to the County Leagues – and they all turned in inspiring performances.

Against Hunts County Alex Gooding at 3 and Sam Bradshaw at 2 had to work hard for their wins but both showed great determination and refused to give up on any of the rallies, which in the end brought them a just reward, as they both ran out 3-0 winners. Hoi-Ping Liu at 1 had a tremendous battle, just managing to secure maximum points for us with a 3-2 victory.
Overall result: Comberton 12 (including 3 bonus points), Hunts County 2.

Our other opponents were the host club, Melbourn, and it was really encouraging to see how all our lads produced another exhibition of gutsy play. None of them had an easy match, but they fought all the way, and once again Alex and Sam gained 3-0 wins. Hoi-Ping obviously enjoys putting himself through maximum stress in all his matches, and found himself involved in another 5-game marathon - this time he was just pipped 9-7 in the fifth!
Overall result: Comberton 11, Melbourn 3.

Congratulations to all three of you on a superb start to your County squash careers!!
