DLWE v Giffnock 1 – Away (Match Report) 26th November 2014
Well I was up at 5am and coaching at 6am on Wednesday morning so was well warmed up by 6.30pm as I arrived at Giffnock awaiting David Craig – and daughter Elvi the team mascot (and not a group of Elvis’s as the pronunciation suggests). 12 hours before i did predict that the score would be 1-18 so that was the benchmark to bear in mind if you’re thinking we did very badly as actually I was quite pleased (all things considered!)
Elvi’s mascot magic was working well tonight as David lined up against the much improved James Singh. I though Dave may be in for bit of a tonking, but not a bit of it and I think I can save a lot of time with the phrase that is quite traditional with reports on Davie C …. “and so to the 5th“

DLWE v Hamilton 1– Home (Match Report) 19th November 2014
With Giffnock 1 v Newlands 1 on tonight who was worried about our poor little match? Well me!!
I know what you’re thinking they must have done well if he’s got the report out already and you’d be right, but the other major factors are 1) I’m away until Monday on a trip and 2) we had an early finish so as I sit here with my beer I’m more enthused than having been thrashed 3-0 and home for 12am! (and we have new Team T-shirts on the way thanks to our new sponsors ‘Kelvin Financial Planning‘).

DLWE v SSRC – Away (Match Report) 12th November 2014
Just a quick report from last week as 1) we got tanked and 2) The scores have only just been posted on the result site by SSRC
1st up was David Craig at No.4 against Chris Holt. This was an easyish one for Chris and he won 3-0. Dave dug in hard and had his chances in the middle of the 1st and 3rd games, but Chris went onto dominate the rest of the game (the team mascot, Elvi, may get the sack if she doesn’t start bringing her dad more luck!).
Next up at No.5 was Michael (Jackson) v David McCormick and this was again all one way traffic against us. I do think that Dave McC played particularly well tonight and really kept the pressure on MJ the whole game. MJ was disappointed in his performance, but he was really up against it.

Can wheelchair squash be included in the Paralympics programme?
This video was posted in 2010 after the sport was demonstrated at the Dutch National Championships. It was an eye-opening spectacle, but four years on there has been no hard talk of wheelchair squash (as well as other disciplines, such as deaf squash) harbouring loftier ambitions as a disability sport.
