[October 27, 2009] Samson, McGrath continue to lead squash competition Tweet Oct 27, 2009 (Cayman Net News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- With only three weeks left before the finals in the TeleCayman Squash Business League, Thursday 22 October matches were crucial for some teams to keep their finals hopes alive. In A grade Aon wasn't able to field their top team, and did not have the strength to get past Alphasoft. Janet Sairsingh did well to take a game off Barrel, but lost in 4. Samson & McGrath continue to lead the competition, with their straight sets victory over the Caribbean Champs putting Jody Jervis's team in jeopardy of missing the finals. In B Grade Bone Dry Photo had to bring in their reserves with their captain off island and the #2 player Matt Taber still recovering from a broken collarbone after running into a wall. Chris Mann and Jason Zomok had a tough victory beating GM by 11 points on a countback. Admiral Admin showed why they are one of the top B grade teams and in line for promotion to A grade with a straight sets victory over HSBC. Charlie's Angels remained in the top 2 with a close victory over Krys / EFG Bank. 6 teams in B grade are still in position to make the semi-finals. Deloitte's victory over Cayman Physio kept them in the hunt, with 3 teams now tied in 4th position. In C Grade Massive kept their finals hopes alive with a strong victory over a depleted Cayman Airways team. Tina Kirkaldy and Robert Berry had a dramatic 5 set battle with Tina winning 11-9 in the 5th, helping move her team into 3rd place. Samson & McGrath booked a place in the finals with a 3-0 victory over Digicel. Along with Fortis, they're clear at the top of the table and are virtually guaranteed a place in the top 4. TeleCayman had a good victory over Cayman27 to keep their finals chances alive, and have now caught Digicel in equal 6th position. With only 3 points separating the 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th team, next week's matches will be vital.
