Royal Army Squash Team Pulls Even with NY Team by Andy Garr
September 10, 2015.
Last night a determined team of British Soldiers won 4 of the last 5
matches and surged to a 9-5 victory over a largely Princeton Club team.
This knotted the score for the challenge to 2.5 –2.5. Most of the
matches, played before a record crowd, were close and spirited. Absent
was any kind of controversy. The apparent reason was the controversial
New York administrator slept through most of the evening and when
offered a beer, declined and asked for some warm milk.
Tonight’s action moves to the Appawamus Club in Rye, New York where
Peter Brigg’s promises to put together a strong team in an attempt to
break the tie which even if the Brits win the finale on Saturday will
insure that the War of 1812 Redux Trophy will remain in New York.
Here are the results from last night:
Bruce Gordon (NY) defeated Mat Price (RA) 3-0
Robert Lampietti (NY) defeated Alex Edge (RA) 3-2
