Thurso Mortgage Shop League Trophy - Season 2003-2004

Les breaks his duck

Thurso Squash Club League, sponsored by Thurso Mortgage Shop - which runs for a full year starting in October with league points being tallied up on a monthly basis, proved an excellent boost for the winner of this trophy.

Since the beginning of the millennium, young Leslie Mackay has been known as the 'nearly man', who's trophy cabinet has been loaded with runner-up awards, time and time again - leaving him wondering when his moment of stardom will come. Well, from the first month of this tournament Les laid his roots on the top spot and continued to grow in the coming months not allowing anyone the chance to stem his chances of taking the trophy home.

Contenders for second and third awards proved a lot tighter to predict in the last few months and the final positions were not decided until the very last day of the season. Pat Owen and Fred Groves looked to have sealed the second and third positions, respectively but James Henderson played his joker card and managed to accumulate the extra points needed to take second place.

It is also worth mentioning that this is Pat's second League prize and James & Fred are a couple of the most consistent League players in the past few years.

An excellent end to the season but it all starts again and Thurso Squash Club are always looking for new entrants into the leagues.

Thurso Mortgage Shop have decided to continue their sponsorship of the League Trophy, for the 2004-2005 season.
