SQUASH 1st V

The first team has had a mixed season of results, despite playing some of the best squash seen at the School in several years. The team found it difficult to produce wins all on the same night, but a 5-0 win at Worksop proved it could be done. Also some fine individual performance wins were recorded against Pocklington and Durham.

Andrew Fotherby captained the side from first string with good wins over Knaresborough and Worksop before missing the New Year due to injury. However, he returned to produce his best squash against Pocklington and Durham, where his matches were the deciders. He came through to win each 3-1 and secure a 'Peter's' victory.

Michael Catling started the season at second string but moved down to a more comfortable three after a couple of matches. He had four good wins throughout the season but left his best for the individual competition, where he beat Andrew to reach the final. Hopefully he will keep his desire to win for next season.

Paul Fotherby proved to be the most successful player in many respects. Not only did he win the most School matches (five in total) and win the individual competition, but he also earned a place in the Yorkshire U.16 side. However, now more than ever he needs to concentrate and work hard on his game if he wants to go on to greater things.

Anthony Baines played a second season at fourth string. He showed plenty of potential and indeed scored four excellent wins, but occasionally let himself down in the pressure situation. However, if he keeps up his training there is no reason why he shouldn't carry on winning.

Matthew Dodgson had some early success; however, he lost his last three matches, which all went to five games. In a thriller against Knaresborough he lost 9-10 in the final game to a very young England player. Next season he should take that determination into training and he will enjoy further success.

Jeremy Wood stepped in when called upon, showing his potential with a 3-0 win over Leeds. He will develop his squash with more experience and match practice.

Over the last two years our success and improvement has been due to Frank Conelly's immense dedication to the team. My thanks to him and my other team mates for

U.15 V

The U.15's enjoyed a mixed season as far as results were concerned; however, the whole team improved in ability and technique over the two terms. The lows of the season were two disappointing defeats at the hands of Ashville and the termly thrashing by Leeds G.S.! The highs of the season were a white-washing of Worksop College and a 3-2 defeat over Pocklington with a much depleted team. Thanks should go to D. S. N. and Graham Hill. The team consisted of Jonathan Price, Matthew Vowles, Tristan Best, Oliver Morton, Richard Rastall, Edward Bray and Chris Bradley.
