Abergavenny Squash Club’s ‘E’ team played host to Cwmbran ‘B’ and won by three matches to two. Captain Tony Davies led from the front, and was ably supported by this two lieutenants, James Gillam and Chris Carver.

As a result, the team move back into third place, but need to win their match next week against the fourth-placed side, who have a game in hand.

Simon Cave lost 3-1

Tony Davies won 3-1

James Gillam won 3-2

Chris Carver won 3-1

Dean Jackson-Johns lost 3-2.

The ‘C’ team travelled to Llantrisant ‘B’, and were well beaten 5-0. In truth, the side is now just playing for pride, as they are certain to be relegated. If it can get back its players that currently injured, we hope and expect that they will bounce back next season and obtain promotion back to this division.

Mike Logan lost 3-0

Mathew Pomfret lost 3-0

Mitchell Lawrence lost 3-0

Mark Nicholls lost 3-0

Chris Carver lost 3-0

The ‘B’ team completed an amazing fortnight by beating the side above them, Rhiwbina ‘D’, and moving into top spot as a result. The side has now beaten the two best sides in the division, and thoroughly deserve their place in the sun. With two games to go, they have every chance to be promoted as champions, but, with only six points covering the first three places and only two teams to go up, they must continue with their good form.

Ed Leakey lost 3-2

John Proctor lost 3-0

Ellis Lawrence won 3-0

Anthony Squire won 3-0

Gareth Hughes-Jones won 3-0

The ‘D’ team travelled to one of the promotion contenders, Cwmbran ‘A,’ and were outplayed, losing 5-0. Again, like the ‘C’ team, the side is playing for pride, as they are going to be relegated at Xmas. However, the team has gained invaluable experience, and look forward to the spring season, when they should be battling for promotion back to this league.
