Mixed results for Comberton’s Junior Third Team

The latest round of matches in the Cambs Junior League Division Two (January 18) saw Comberton enjoying a win and suffering a defeat.

We had to play by far the strongest team in the division, St Ivo, and both Dan Ellwood at #3 and Alex Gooding at #2 struggled to impose themselves on their matches. (Dan hadn’t played competitive squash for a long time, while Alex was short of recent coaching.) Sam Bradshaw, our ever-reliable #1, came up with the goods once again, though, producing a resounding victory over his St Ivo opponent.

Overall result: St Ivo 9 points (including 3-point bonus), Comberton 3 points.

We fared better against Fenland, with Dan getting much more into his match although he couldn’t quite clinch a game and Alex growing steadily in confidence after a shaky start to run out a 3-1 winner. Sam once again stayed well in control despite spirited resistance from a hard-hitting opponent.

Overall result: Comberton 9 points, Fenland 4 points.
