Squashy

Myself and Kevin have been playing Squash in an on-off fashion for five years. The on-off nature describes the playing of squash regularly for 3 or 4 months, then a few items like holidays and birthdays will come along and disrupt the regularity.

We have recently embarked upon what I imagine will be a new bout of regular squash playing and I've decided that it is time to keep score. After all, it is a competitive game. My perception is that, so far, we've been very even. When fit after a regular month or two, we will play four games in 40 minutes and typically will win two games each, no matter how hard I try.

So, following our game on the 14th July I'm keeping score right here in the left hand column (you might need to view the home page to see this). I'm going to display the latest games date and match score and below that a cumulative total of games won by both myself and Kevin.

We play at the beautiful Sobell sports centre in Holloway, on courts that leave a lot more than a little to be desired. Thursday night at 8pm is our usual slot. Only time will show who wins more games....
