UCSC 2010 Team Challenge - Week No. 2 Results

Written by Michael C.S. TAN

Monday, 25 October 2010 17:40

Week No. 2 has seen only one complete set of results where Shaolin Squashers unleashed some fine squash kung-fu to K.O. The Underdogs by 4-1. Other matches were incomplete although two have confirmed team wins with unassailable leads despite having played a match short each. B'orn '2' Win is leading Losers Buy Drinks by 3-1 with Brian Chang yet to play Michael Crowe and B4 The Rest leading Winners Take All by the same, 3-1 margin with Kelvin Kan yet to play Michael Tan.

Participants are reminded of two things:

1) All uncompleted matches must be played this week;

2) Week No.3 this Saturday will see matches start from 1.00pm-5.00pm instead of from 2.00pm-6.00pm. This is to faciliate the AGM which we will hope to start on time at 6.30pm. Please lend your full support.

Good luck for the remaining matches and happy squashing!

UCSC 2010 Team Challenge - First week's results

Written by Michael C.S. TAN

Tuesday, 19 October 2010 09:17

The buzz was evident down at the Singapore Polytechnic last Saturday as players turned up early to prepare for the UCSC 2010 Team Challenge.

There were also some new members present ... We welcome Natalie, Victoria, Kwong Yee and Victor to the UCSC family. One parent of a new member was amazed that squash could still generate such enthusiasm and commented that this reminds him of the hey-days of Singapore squash. We should all be proud that everyone contributed to such an atmosphere .... UCSC (truly) Lives & Breathes Squash!

The matches were exciting and the scores, close. Two matches were postponed due to injuries and will be played during this week (as per tournament rules). Please refer to attached Excel spreadsheet for last week's completed team results. We will try to include also individual scores at a later date.

Happy squashing!
