In second game, Doug and Greg fought back to trail 8-7 and it looked like Brent was about to fall apart. That certainly did not happen - both he and Mark righted the ship and played exceptionally well to win the match 2 straight. Good work boys.
Second match had Buffalo Doubles Champion Rob Bowder and Gord Hughes against Mark Litton and Chris Barrett. Lots of comments in the crowd about the attire of short shorts Bowder and Ed Grimley.
Litton and Barrett switched walls and played well enough to pull out a 2-0 win.
Everyone was looking forward to the third match with hot Alex Falconer and Sean McDonough, getting two points, against Gary Never Wrong Long and Clive Cawse.
This was a very entertaining match. Clive and Gary peppered the left wall with every shot imaginable. The result was the labeling of a new squash shot "The Falconer" (credit Ivan Hunt). Alex and Sean deserved the 2-0 win for sure. Good stuff here!
Cass Quin and Al Cook introduced themselves to each other as they stepped on the court to play Mark Braden and Calcutta coordinator Nate Drew. (Thank you Nate).
Would this match go three? Nope. Cass and Al played to the left wall effectively winning game one relatively easily. Nate and Mark fought back in game two and at 14-14 Al hit a hard breaker on the left wall for the winning shot.
Ivan also declared he is the first one ever to go 4-0 on the first night bracket. Certainly he at least ties the record.
See you Saturday - first match up Ces and Gord against the Pirate and Super Freak at 10
