What we told the press:
Melbourn Squash Club 1st team were frustrated by the outcome despite competing well against Cambridgeshire Squash League Division 1 leaders Cambridge 1sts hard before going down to an 18-5 defeat.
The visitors started fast, winning 3-0 at each of the bottom two strings, though Melbourn’s skipper Mark Oppen (5) was involved in an extended tie-break in his second game with Hamish MacKenzie; former Cambridge player Miles Jeanneret (4) was well beaten by Cameron Gibb.
Mike Herd’s match with Grant Bryant at third string was extremely tight, with games going either way by a handful of points. It eventually went the full distance, but in the end Herd was beaten 3-2. Vinod Duraikan (2) also played a series of tight games against Ali Dawson, but saw each go against him to lose 3-0. Melbourn got a consolation win as Chris Shaw (1) came through his match with Stefan Ranoszek 3-1 to ensure Melbourn got a decent point return from the evening.
Melbourn currently sit 8th of the 10 sides in Division 1.
