Wick Inter-County - Season 2009-2010

Contents:- -HOME-|-AWAY-

Thurso hold on to lift both trophies - 09/05/10 - (HOME)

Thurso's winning captains -
'A', Sean Miller & 'B', Stevie Spargo

The return leg of the Inter-Town tie between Thurso & Wick Squash Club's was hosted in Thurso and played in a relatively relaxed manner.

The first leg scoreline of 5-3 in both the 'A' and 'B' sections suggested there could be a batch of good, close matches throughout the day. Unfortunately, Wick suffered late call offs and injuries which meant a serious re-shuffle and new recruits were required, maybe, affecting the final results.

Performance and match of the day came from Thurso's, Mairi Vines who managed to beat Wick's, Donna Majilton in a tie that went all the way with Mairi grabbing a win on the last point.

After all matches had been played Thurso won both the 'A' and 'B' sections 7-1 to lift the Blackwood Trophy and Park Hotel Shield, respectively for Season 2009-2010.

At the handover of trophies - Thurso's, James Henderson thanked Wick and everyone involved for their patience on playing this tie, as a backlog in the fixture list forced the date to be pushed out further than usual.

Thurso's 'B' team captain, Stevie Spargo commented on receiving the trophy, 'It was great to see so many youngsters coming into this tie and performing well against experienced players, which bodes well for the future of both clubs'.

Thank you also to everyone who provided hospitality and refereeing duties on the day.

Thurso just have edge after opening leg - 14/11/09 - (AWAY)

The first Inter-Town tie of the 2009-2010 season between Thurso & Wick Squash Club was hosted in Wick and brought together a variety of styles, behaviours and at times explosive play.

With Thurso Squash Club a bit light up top and Wick struggling to produce Ladies, this tie always had the potential of a close contest and after a long day both the 'A' and 'B' matches were left tantalisingly close at 5 sets to 3, in Thurso's favour.

With vital match points being played for, officials received more than their fair share of colourful comments and wrath from disgruntled players, who believed they were being deemed a miss service!!! But, the referees' percentage of correct decisions more than overruled any paltry thoughts from the fatigued or; on some occasions unknowledgeable players...!!!

In all, depending on teams provided, the return leg should bring a close end to this tie and have the crowd watching in anticipation.

Thank you to Wick for their hospitality on the day and look forward to the return match.
