Okay. So the Plate didn’t go to plan either, unfortunately—went down 3-0.
Not to make excuses... except I am blatantly about to make an excuse!
My legs were heavy from Friday night’s game, and frankly, I had nothing left in the tank. It was a thoroughly enjoyable match against Mark Lafferty of Essex, though—played in the right spirit with great company off the court, too.
Plenty of positives to take away: after this 6-week training block, I’ve managed to lose a significant amount of weight, get my health back on track, and I’m hungry to go again! Looking forward to the Southern Masters at the end of November.
I watched a lot of great squash this weekend and caught up with some fantastic people, but best of all was watching my good friend and training partner Kirsty West win the Women’s Over 35/40s in a hard-fought 3-1 victory!
Great thanks to England Squash Masters for putting on a great event, and also Warrington Sports Club for hosting!
