5Nations Squash
Championships 2009
22-23 May, PoliSquash, Milan |
Matthew's Hallamshire Thump whilst the
Poli Squash Ladies Team excite!
On a hot sunny weekend in Milan, Hallamshire take the
coveted 5Nations Trophy back to the British Isles with a
convincing win in the final over David Heath's Vaduz side.
The 5Nations Squash Championships are 8 in a team, each
match is 3 games up to 11 with the every point going towards
the teams total. Which made the fact that the draw in 1st
Round match between Poli Squash Ladies and Beindersheim
quite amazing. The Poli Ladies where very vocal from when
their very nervous No8 Nadia Piraino walked on court until
No2 string Madeline Perry walked off thinking that her 33-12
win over Anders Kroscky was enough to give them a win by one
point, instead it drew them 196-196. Beindersheim won on
count back of matches won and put them through to play 2008
Champions Vaduz who in the previous round had beaten Squash
For 2016 International Team. Hallamshire beat Joyfit and
Poli Squash Mens beat The Homeless Team.
The semi finals on the Saturday morning all go to form,
Vaduz beat Beindersheim, and Hallamshire beat Poli Squash
Mens Team but yet again the most exciting match was the 5-8
play offs. PoliSquash Ladies Vs Squash For 2016
International Team started with the No8's Nadia Piraino and
Virgi Cademartori playing the first 3 points when a stray
ball struck Nadia Piraino and she was off to hospital for a
check up. The 7's went on and the match swung this way and
after all 8 matches... blow me side ways if this match ended
up in a draw AGAIN 179-179!!! Poli Ladies Team go through on
count back of games to play Joyfit that had a comfortable
win over the Homeless team in the other play off.
The last matches were scheduled to start at 15.30 after a 2
hour break in which the players ate and enjoyed the
wonderful free massages that Tess was giving outside under a
very warm Italian sun.
In the meantime the courts were busy with the 1st GRS Cup a
team tournament that put together The Lunchtime Poli
SquashMembers Team Vs The Evening PoliSquash Members Team ,
same scoring system as the 5Nations, and after 5
matches.....I dont really have to tell you do I ...?.....it
was a draw 140-140!!! A doubles match settled the score with
Evening Members coming up trumps!
