ENCC 2010 – Day 1

Luxembourg – Gibraltar     2-1

  Danny Hutchines – Antony Brindle 11-8  2-11 11-6 7-11 5-11 Daniel Kaiser – Christian Navas 7-11 11-2 11-4 8-11 11-8 Stephane Ayache – Mark Tewkesbury 11-2 11-9 11-8   The first match of the event was against Gibraltar, the number 2 seeds. So we knew that this would be a tough match to start! First on court was Danny Hutchines, who lost a long match in 5 sets. Next on court was Daniel Kaiser. After losing the first set, Daniel started playing good squash, and his opponent became nervous, and started to make mistakes: Daniel won the 2nd and 3rd.  But in the fourth it was Daniel who made the mistakes, and so the fifth set was decisive: Daniel never lost control, and despite some strange calls at the end of the set, he won it 11-8. So, Stéphane’s game had to bring the decision. Stéphane won the first set convincingly, but his opponent struggled back and the second set was quite disputed, and finished with the score 11-9 for us. The third was also won by Stéphane, which meant that be beat Gibraltar 2-1  

Luxembourg – Isle of Man

Danny Hutchines – Allister Crossley 11-3 11-6 11-1 Daniel Kayser – Tom Whiteway 9-11 11-8 11-7 11-5 Stéphane Ayache – Chris Corrigan 11-7 11-2 11-2   The match against Isle of Man became a convincing win for the Luxembourg team. Only Tom Whiteway, a 15 year old talent, gave some resistance to Daniel, by running to every ball Daniel played. In the end the Daniel prevailed and won in 4.   alt

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.
