New Canada Lands – Glasgow v Canada Match April 2014!
A Canadian Touring side came to Scotland for a 2 week squash tour of the country and their first stop was Glasgow’s Newlands for a 10-a-side friendly match (well as friendly as these things get on court!).
The tourists won a hard fought contest with a team of Rex, Brad, Zack, Tyler, Ethan, Francois, Jean-Cristophe and other great Canadian names! We (Newlands) were captained by Mandy Nicol and the team line-up included me, Pete Cumine, John Singh, Graeme Marshall, Iain Donellan, Pete Cumine (sen), Bernard Dunn, Colin McIntyre among others.
It was a great match up and the apres-squash was as good as the match – we even took them to the West Squash End Of Season Presentation night at Giffnock (where Craig Brown was the guest speaker).
Squash touring is the future in my book! Right who’s up for the return?
