www.squashsite.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Day 3 at the ETC has arrived, the sun continues to shine, the \t\t\t\tswimming pool has become more popular than ever and the squash \t\t\t\tis approaching the business end of the week. Whilst for some the \t\t\t\timportance of getting a tan is high up on the agenda, for many \t\t\t\tteams the third day brings about some crunch games in deciding \t\t\t\ttheir final Pool placements (no pun intended). <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\tFor the team from Luxembourg, things were no different. Whilst \t\t\t\tthe ladies team had the day off (and chose to spend part of it \t\t\t\tshopping), the men’s team knew they faced a crucial encounter \t\t\t\tagainst their counterparts from Gibraltar. Their line up \t\t\t\tconsisted of Anthony Brindle, Christian Navas, Stephen Shacaluga \t\t\t\tand Mark Tewkesbury and, seeing as they had put in a better \t\t\t\tperformance against the Slovakians, the Luxembourgers knew they \t\t\t\tcould take nothing for granted.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\tAt 1, Nathan Sneyd<\/b> got the ball rolling with a cool 3-0 \t\t\t\twin whilst on the other court Danny Hutchines<\/b>, after \t\t\t\tgoing 2-0 up, scraped through in 5. This put the team from \t\t\t\tLuxembourg on the verge of their first win but work was still \t\t\t\tneeded to make it happen! Fortunately, Sanjay Raval <\/b>put \t\t\t\tin an assured performance winning 3-0 thus clinching the tie for \t\t\t\tthe minnows. Last on court, Niall<\/b> managed to squeeze past \t\t\t\this opponent 3-2, sealing an important 4-0 victory.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\tWith spirits much improved, the men’s team decided to celebrate \t\t\t\twith a swift-ish 9 holes of golf on the adjacent course. Of \t\t\t\tcourse this also provided the perfect opportunity for Kitty<\/b> \t\t\t\tto accrue yet more money for any balls failing to make it past \t\t\t\tthe ladies tees! Indeed, thanks to 2 feeble drives each (photos \t\t\t\tsupplied) from Stephane Ayache, Danny Hutchines and Nathan Sneyd, \t\t\t\tKitty has earned herself a further \u20ac30! Hooray.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\tTomorrow the team shall keep you up to date on all their antics \t\t\t\talongside reports of the women’s crucial encounter against the \t\t\t\tGreeks and the men’s match against Poland. See you then …
