The Martlets ended up losing every match to a strong squad of Wild Boars, but the boys from Westminster fought hard and played well up and down the ladder. Five of the seven matches were decided in straight games, but in those matches Westminster earned between 18 and 20 points per match. Mac Dye '20 won his first game at No. 3 by a score of 11-9 but lost the second game 11-13. His opponent, having grabbed the momentum, won the next two games at Nos. 6 and 5. In the match of the day, Scott Lee '20 split the first two games of his match at (6) and 8 and then split the next two games at 7 and (4), forcing a deciding fifth game. That game featured outstanding squash by two evenly matched players, neither of whom wanted to concede even an inch. Lee earned one match ball at 10-9 and then fought off a match ball at 10-11. In the end, an exhausted Lee tried for a couple of tough winners but tinned those shots to lose 11-13. Obviously, he earns the "nail" for this match.
