There was no doctoring of courts happening at Moulder Street which is more than we can say for the Indians.
Team 4 Goes hung on to beat Team 8 Knight on Wednesday night with really strong wins for Craig Hausler and Kym Knight while Steve Elliot, who had recently returned from Canada with canned beaver in hand, was unlucky going down to Mark Goes in five games.
It was an absolute thriller and both played excellent squash.
Team 1 Chapman cruised past Team 7 Elkington with wins for Robyn Chapman, George Eleftheriou and Chris Elkington while Steve Blackwood continued his poor form losing to Ian Middleton in three, the latter securing a comfortable straight sets victory.
Team 2 Atkinson beat Team 6 Garton with wins for Yvonne Tracey and Nathan Garton.
Luke Kidson led Glen Atkinson two games to nil early on in their blockbuster fixture until Luke stared into the headlights while Glen turned red.
The latter, as a result, stormed home to seal a remarkable comeback win in five.
Team 3 Wythes whitewashed Team 5 D’Aquino, in a stellar performance last Wednesday night.
There was just the three matches played in this one as well, with wins for the pest Grant Michell and Scott Baker, who defeated Charles D’Aquino and Allison Thorn respectively.
In the third game, Heatehr Wythes and Steve Kirk played out an epic, which went all the way to five games. Heather won 10-9 in the decider.
