Results of the Western Squash Doubles Tournament
There was a great turn out for the inaugural Western Doubles tournament in Glasgow this weekend with 16 players competing in two round-robin groups which produced seedings for a knockout rounds after this. 
In Group A the top teams were Martin Woods/Gavin Dillon and also Paul Sweeney/Ross Lawrie and in Group B they were Owen Hadden/Morgan Maguire and Mat Mackie/myself.
The best of 3 semi-finals saw Martin/Gavin lose to v Paul/Ross and in the other semi Owen/Morgan were very narrowly piped by Mat/me (15-13 in the 3rd game).
So with 30 seconds break (!) the final was underway and it was the youngsters (Paul/Ross in case you’re in any doubt!) who took the honours in 3 games, winning 15-11 in the last game.Thanks to Logie and Western for getting everyone there, as it was a great fun tournament and all involved appeared very keen to do it again in the New Year.
