Welcome. This is an unofficial blog for Beaconsfield squash club.
Here you'll be able to access info about team matches, keep tabs on divisional positions,
and get updates on squash and racketball events and any forthcoming social activity.
It could also be the place to start (and end) rumours, and indulge in healthy banter.
There's bound to be the odd thing that offends; but that's alright isn't it, us being adults?
If you're truly miffed just email me and I'll remove the offending article.
You'll also be able to post a blog yourself; I am your host so, simply email me your piece/rant/match report/poetry/recipe for tripe to:
trev@lisacottage.demon.co.uk
I'll put it up 'in the cloud' and folk will then be able to comment or heckle...
So come on, email your pieces or add your comments below what is already posted there.

Watch the Six Nations Rugby at the Club

The Chairman has asked me to advertise that all Six Nations matches will be televised at the club.
Look out for SPECIAL BAR PROMOTIONS that will be in place during match time.
Historically these have included out of date Twiglets and Big Bird getting her Baps out at half time.
However, to entice you to imbibe and linger Napoleon has promised an "exciting new lager" at £2 a pop; a cheap pint from a half pint so to speak...
Should be a cracking 1st day; here are my predictions:


Sheep Shaggers v Spud Chompers (1.30 KO)
This could be one of the matches of the tournament. Ireland are always frisky away from home, with O'Driscoll keen to glory in his golden years. Later in the t'ment they host England and France so, if they get off to a good start, that home advantage could be a teller. Ireland always seem to flatter to deceive and should have won more championships. They still remain favorites to win for me.
Wales have lost seven in a row (although 4 of those results have been to Australia and by narrow margins) so they will be keen to steady the ship.
Ireland to nick a close encounter.

Saxons v Sweaty Socks (4pm KO)
Our stunning recent victory against The All Blacks has upped the ante making us tournament favorites and the target for much envious sniping. The charming Jim Telfer has even labeled us 'arrogant'. Stuart Lancaster is shaping up well as a coach and his unfussy approach seems to have removed smugness and overconfidence from the English mindset. Confidence isn't arrogance. There's always a simmering hostility in The Calcutta Cup, and a good start could endorse the suggestion that, after that historic annihilation of The Kiwis, we might be on the verge of something special. An average performance or, dare I say it, defeat would burst our bubble and see a return to the middling muddling that has befuddled our team recently.
A watershed match with England winning a physical battle by 10 points.

Meatballs v Frogs (KO 3pm Sunday)
The Italians have had the wooden spoon 9 times out of 13. The French are mercurial, brilliant or brittle. They're sure to beat the crap out of each other but, frankly, who gives a shit?
France to win a bloodbath.
