Tania was beaten 9-4, 4-9, 0-9, 9-1, 10-8 by 16-year-old Egyptian qualifier Omneya Abdel Kawy in New York at the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS.

This was set to be a tough return match with Oundle pulling out the stops to put a full strength team out. First up were the Barker brothers fresh from a weeks skiing. Simon playing Peter Izod and Richard playing Jim Massey. Peter started strongly playing tight squash and moving the Stamford captain all over

The Daniel Lambert (Stamford 2) played their first match since the Christmas break in the Peterborough District Squash Leagues Division 2 against current leaders Peterborough Town II. The Stamford side had a quiet start to the season but manged to climb to third spot in the table. They were keen to reverse a 5-0 drubbing

Werrington arrived with a stronger team from the first half of the season with Claire Waddle back in at number 1 for them. Yorkie though, was unconcerned and feeling more confident having had a couple of wins since his poor run of defeats over the Xmas break. First on for Stamford was Richard Barker playing

This was the first game of the second half of the season that saw Stamford leading the division by a comfortable 31 points. Jon Oakley unable to play due to prior commitments (“I didn’t know the season had re-started yet and I’m taking my wife out to dinner!”) meant we had a second guest appearance
