DLWE (Kelvin Financial Planning) v Whitecraigs RFC – Home (Match Report) 30th September 2015
Well team squash is back for another season and I was getting the usual questions about how Doug can’t have been playing much if I was playing above him! Bloody cheek I say! I may not be in the best shape of my life (in fact it’s always amazed me how much ‘Exercise’ and ‘Extra Fries’ sound alike!) but the shots are getting better.
The teams looked great in the new ‘Kelvin Financial Planning’ bottle green t-shirts and many thanks to Michael Jackson for sponsoring the squads again this year (and I’m optimistic for all the teams this season as the depth at the club is growing).
We’ve strengthened our team squads this year and the 1st team now has the services of the DL Renfrew coach, Jason Lang. He’s making the trip North of the river to come and join the squad at No.2. Jason and I used to play together at Renfrew, when I coached there, and in retrospect what a team we were building with Kevin Moran, Dougie Kempsell, the two Jasons and Sean Norris (in fact Sean was the only weak link we had!!). I think that team playing now would have a good chance of winning the league, but we were all much younger then (except Sean and I who were much older!)
Anyway back to the match and it was just as well we had new Jase, as our opponents (Whitecraigs Rugby) had also strengthened at No.2 – and it was all down to the No.2s at the end of the night!

Nick Matthew & Mohamed Elshorbagy in the Final of the British Grand Prix 2015
Nick Matthew beat Karim Abdel Gawad in the semi-final of the 2015 AJ Bell British Grand Prix. The World No.2 progresses to his third consecutive final at the British Grand Prix, where this year he will face World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy.
Nick said about his semi-final opponent “Karim offered a different challenge to my other opponents. I’ve never played him before and with his silky skills he presented a totally different challenge. I never felt totally settled” (Nick Matthew (ENG) bt Karim Abdel Gawad 3-0: 11-7, 11-6, 13-11)
Top seed Mohamed Elshorbagy won 3-2 against Gregory Gaultier in the 2nd semi-final as the crowd were treated to an impressive display of athleticism from both players, which went in Elshorbagy’s favour as the 24-year-old finished won in the 5th game 7-11, 11-9, 11-7, 6-11, 11-8.
Dalgety Bay (Fife) – RASTA Racketball Tournament – 26th September
Harrow’s Raneem El Welily is the New Women’s WORLD NO.1
Egyptian Raneem El Welily has topped the September 2015 PSA Women’s World Rankings and ended Nicol David’s nine-year run as No.1
The Harrow sponsored player has won 3 major titles major titles already this year (the New York Tournament of Champions, the Windy City Open and her home tournament the Alexandria Open) which have all helped her become the first player since 2006 to overtake Nicol at the top of the World Rankings.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to have become the new World No.1,” said El Welily, “I’m trying to be hungrier this season than ever before and I’ll need that hunger if I’m to stay at the top and hopefully I can start the season well at the China Open starting on the 3rd of September.”
Congratulations Raneem – a truly remarkable achievement (she is also the first Egyptian female star in any sport to be crowned World No.1)
