The new-format 2006 Autumn Pennant of six teams per grade is well under way. In this competition the club has eight teams entered: A3, A5, B1, B2, C1, C3 and two D1 teams. At the moment most of our teams are still in with a good chance of making the finals by getting into the top three. In the new format the top team in each grade goes straight into the grand final while the teams coming second and third play out a preliminary final for the right to challenge the top team in the grand final. Our best chances of getting into the finals at the time of writing were the A3, A5, B1, C1 and C3 teams, who are all coming fourth or better in their respective comps.
Our monthly handicapped Round Robin competition held on the last Sunday of each month at the club and open to all squash club members is now well under way. The March results were as follows: 1st Rohit Autar (21) def Mickey Bek (9); 2nd Doug McFarlane (21) def Greg Mackay (15); and 3rd Brian Pisani (21) def George Keir (18). In April the results were: 1st Peter Lupevski (21) def Peter Tawadros (12), 2nd Doug McFarlane (21) def Mickey Bek (17) and 3rd Richard Chen (21) def Chewy Lim (18). At the time of writing, Doug McFarlane (8) was leading the points table for the annual round robin championship from Rohit Autar (6), Peter Lupevski (5) and Richard Chen and Brian Pisani (3).
