Boasters League round
2~~
The quick-fire lead the “Winky-Dinks” established in round 1 was short lived. “Butter Nutz” made up the deficit and
more last night when the two teams squared off against each other. Bonus points
aside – (“Winky-Dinks” picked up a
season low 11 which was still more
than every other team) - the “Butter
Nutz” were instead content in handing out some goose eggs on the court.
Five of them in fact. That’s a significant amount of points which is tough to
overcome.
On the other end of the ladder, “Mongoose” improved considerably compared to week one’s performance,
but are still reeling in 8th place, 2 points ahead of “Wardogs” who have already had the bye.
Unless they start now to get matches completed, they will be struggling
mightily to make up the big difference that already looks threatening.
Participation was quite healthy for round 2, but there is
always room for improvement. Every team picked up at least 6 bonus points, but
you can’t live on those alone. Matches also need to get done, and if your team
is scoring more bonus points than squash points because of that (3 teams did
that last night), you may find yourself lingering at the back of the pack.
A few close results worth reporting: Nick Cinqueranelli (“Butter
Nutz”) scrambled his way to a 2-1 victory over the improving and
power-serving Brett Torgler (“Winky-Dinks”) who moved up a position
from the first half. Stu Neufeld (“Paddy’s Dropshots”) picked up his first
win – an impressive one – over Brian
Bartes (“Mongoose”) 2-1 with
some clever use of his angles; and Chuck
Doyle (“Winky-Dinks”) squeaked a
2-1 win against Marc Lakin (“Butter Nutz”).
Take careful note that next week is the 2nd
Dividend. That means that league matches will only be scheduled up until
6.30pm. All other matches with be self-schedule. This does not mean that you
cannot play after 6.30pm, but it is encouraged
that you join the crowd to meet the candidates for the DAC presidency in the
gym and enjoy the feed!
