SQUASH LEAGUE GETS OFF TO A FLYER

THE INAUGURAL BG SRAM SQUASH LEAGUE CO-SPONSORED BY ISP GOT OFF TO A FLYER AT TWO DIFFERENT VENUES IN THE CITY. ALL FOUR FIXTURES WERE KEENLY CONTESTED WITH THREE OF THEM GOING TO THE WIRE.

TEAM SHABANA (4) V TEAM ASHOUR (3)

CYRUS MEHTA(ASHOUR) TURNED BACK THE CLOCK TO SCRIPT A FANTASTIC COME FROM BEHIND WIN OVER CYRUS VAKIL(SHABANA). AFTER TRAILING 0-2, MEHTA SHOWED WHY HE WAS ONE OF THE FINEST JUNIORS IN HIS TIME TO REGISTER A POINT FOR TEAM ASHOUR. VIKRAM MALHOTRA(SHABANA) NEEDED FOUR GAMES TO SEE OFF ROHIT MORE(ASHOUR). VINAY SANGHI(ASHOUR)EASED PAST AULOKE MATHUR(SHABANA). RAHIL FAZELBHOY AND NIKHIL GANDHI ( BOTH SHABANA ) FOUGHT HARD TO LEVEL THE TIE AT THREE ALL. IT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY – RAJ ARORA WON THE DECIDER AGAINST AKHILESH NAYAK GIVING SHABANA THEIR FIRST WIN. 

TEAM PALMER (4) V TEAM GAULTIER (2)

SANJAY PAWAR(PALMER) WON A MARATHON FIVE SETTER WITH THE FIT RAJA PARTHASARATHY(GAULTIER). RISHAD BILLIMORIA (PALMER) HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE PROMOTED ANUJ BEHL(GAULTIER) FROM PUNE. AAKASH KUTTY ( PALMER ) IMPRESSED OVER ISHAN ADVANI (GAULTIER). SHIV MALHOTRA AND AADIT ZAVERI ( BOTH GAULTIER) PULLED TWO BACK BEFORE JEHANGIR SURTI(PALMER) WON THE BATTLE OF THE CAPTAINS OVER VAMAN APTE(GAULTIER) 

TEAM WILLSTROP (4) V TEAM MATTHEW(3)

MANISH CHOTRANI(WILLSTROP) HAD TOO MUCH AMMUNITION FOR THE TALENTED ADITYA JAGTAP(MATTHEW). THE PUNE VETERANS HAD A MIXED BAG – ROHIT THAWANI(MATTHEW) GOING DOWN TO SACHIN JADHAV AND DEEPAK MOOLANI(MATTHEW) WINNING HIS MATCH. NIRAJ SHIRGAOKAR AND PRANAY MERCHANT ( BOTH WILLSTROP) CLINCHED CRUCIAL WINS TO GIVE TEAM WILLSTROP A HARD FOUGHT VICTORY.

TEAM DARWISH(4) V TEAM LINCOU (3)

VIKAS JANGRA, SANTOSH MORE, AI SINGH AND GOPI MOHITE GAVE TEAM DARWISH WINNING POINTS WHILST MAHESH MANGAONKAR, ADITYA KOCHHAR AND VRISHAB KOTIAN WON FOR TEAM LINCOU. TEAM DARWISH HAD THE MAXIMUM WINS ON DAY 1 OF THE LEAGUE AND NOW LEAD THE STANDINGS. 

JUNIORS WHO IMPRESSED  

AMAN RAWAL WON A HARD FOUGHT FIVE SET MATCH OVER PUNE YOUNGSTER PRATYUSH MOHILE. MAHESH MANGAONKAR AND ABHINAV SINHA PLAYED A CRACKER WITH THE YOUNGSTER COMING OUT ON TOP. ADITYA SINGHI, YOHAN PANDOLE, AAKASH KUTTY, YASH BHANSALI AND RAHIL FAZELBHOY ALSO POSTED USEFUL WINS. 

SENIORS WHO IMPRESSED 

CYRUS MEHTA WAS IN FINE FORM IN HIS FIVE SET WIN OVER CYRUS VAKIL. RAVI PURI, THE OLDEST PARTICIPANT IN THE TOUNAMENT MADE A WINNING START OVER RAHUL MODI. SHIV MALHOTRA DEFIED THE AGE DIFFERENCE WITH HIS MUCH YOUNGER OPPONENT, ROHAN VORA FROM PUNE IN A CREDITABLE FIVE SET WIN. RAJA PARTHASARATHY PLAYED ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF THE EVENING BEFORE LOSING TO SANJAY PAWAR. YUDHVIR KATOCH PLAYING HIS MAIDEN TOURNAMENT RECORDED A GOOD WIN.
