2 for 1: Match Reports: Lions v Chesham Bois 1 and Tring

Lions off to a shaky start
P2 W1 L1 

So another season underway in a 21 match season of battling out for the Div 1 title...

First up v CB1s:

 Paul Boyle kicked off proceedings against Tim 'Zebedee' King at No1. Paul had to stay alert to ensure Tim's impressive running did not cause too many problems, winning 3-0 (in 50mins!) of all-court squash. 

 CK was out hit and out run 0-3 by the accomplished Dan Colquhorn at 2. 

 Similar treatment for Nic at 3 vs the fast improving Sam Pothecary. 

 In the battle of players on the decline I managed to see off Paul Bolton 3-1 and game of the night Antti debuting for Lions played a blinder, beating Tom Paine in 4 very close games by keeping his head and running down the ball. 

 So a tight 13-8 victory.

Tring 

This week we hosted Tring and welcomed back Mark T from his holiday to LA. Complaining (for a change) of jet lag he played a beatable Tim Delderfield but deep in a close first suffered from cramp. MT played thru the pain (unlike ex- junior players who walk off court when cramping - I'm still smarting!!) but to no avail losing 0-3. 

 CK at 2 played R Carr and entertained the gallery with a long, hard 5 game thriller of contrasting styles. From 0-2 down he won 3rd 10-9 and went deep in the 5th only to lose out after a 70 mins battle. 

 Nic at 3 was rejuvenated after last week and duffed up the dangerous Greg Proudfoot 3-0 in 30 mins. At 4 I was out gunned by the unorthodox and deceptive backhand of Martin Harding 1-3. 

 Equal game of the night was Magic playing the wily Iain Digby at 5. The games see-sawed with Toby trading rallies his ex-body had no right to be in let only chase down and win. At 8-8 in the 5th when a decisive shot was needed, a slight hesitation and a winner from Diggers and it was all over 2-3. 
So a (1-4) 8-16 defeat.

The new catering arrangements were fully approved after lashings of Thai Green Curry. 
Just like Trev, the Basmati is so last year.

Looking at the league table of the 4x teams that have played twice all have won 1 and lost 1 - so looks like a tight season ahead
