Melbourn lost 7-18

Melbourn 1sts gave Cambridgeshire Squash League Division 1 champions Cambridge Uni 1sts a run for their money last Wednesday… and kept their slim hopes of surviving in the county top flight alive as a consequence.
Melbourn were competitive in every string, particularly at #5 where skipper Mark Oppen picked up an excellent 3-0 success. Otherwise the matches all went the students way, but with every Melbourn player picking up at least a game, and therefore a league point, in defeat: Chris Shaw (2) falling 3-2 and each of Matt Sampson (1), Vinod Duraikan (3) and Miles Jeanneret (4) going down 3-1.
It all added up to 8 points from the evening for Melbourn, which leaves them 15 adrift of relegation rivals Stamford going into the final round of matches, where there will be a maximum of 20 points on the line for both teams.
