New president of the FSL

 

alt Steve Kaiser has taken over from Georges Kieffer as the new President of the Luxembourg Squash Federation. Steve came to Luxembourg in 1979 from England where he had played club squash and quickly became involved in the game here. He played more than 20 times for the national team and, although age has taken its toll, he can still be seen occasionally on court at Top Squash. Steve was involved in squash administration in Luxembourg from the time he arrived and helped to form the federation some 30 years ago, as well as playing a leading role in setting up the inter-club leagues and a refereeing scheme. Steve plans to talk to all those involved in running the sport at national and club level over the next few weeks in order to discuss the future of the sport in Luxembourg and to understand the ambitions of those most closely associated with the day to day organization of squash in Luxembourg.

ESNST 2009 – Malta – Game 2

Luxembourg lost against Malta

Luxembourg were beaten convincingly by a strong Maltese team. The maltese team having two professionals in top 2 positions, that was always making it difficult for us. Our only hope was strong performances of our bottom 3 players. As it happened, the experience of the Maltese number 4 and 5 proved too strong for both Keith Darlington and Marcel Kramer as they both lost in straight games. Stéphane Ayache went up 2-0, and even had a match ball on 10-8, but still had to go to 5 sets to win! Daniel Kaiser and Daniel Hutchines learnt from the experience of playing an opponent out of their league.
Hopefully we use this experience of yesterday’s match to our favor for this evening, where we have to beat Liechtenstein to ensure the 2nd place.

 

In the other encounter, Monaco won 4-1 against Liechtenstein.

Here are the detailed results:

Daniel Hutchines – Brad Hindle 0-3
Daniel Kaiser – Mike Fiteni 0-3
Stéphane Ayache – Mark Lupi 3-2
Marcel Kramer – Steve Schranz 0-3
Keith Darlington – Bernard Bujega 0-3
