With only three weeks left before the finals in the TeleCayman Squash Business League, Thursday 22 October matches were crucial for some teams to keep their finals hopes alive.

Samson & McGrath continue to lead the competition, with their straight sets victory over the Caribbean Champs putting Jody Jervis’s team in jeopardy of missing the finals.

In B Grade Bone Dry Photo had to bring in their reserves with their captain off island and the #2 player Matt Taber still recovering from a broken collarbone after running into a wall.

Chris Mann and Jason Zomok had a tough victory beating GM by 11 points on a countback.

Admiral Admin showed why they are one of the top B grade teams and in line for promotion to A grade with a straight sets victory over HSBC. Charlie’s Angels remained in the top 2 with a close victory over Krys / EFG Bank. 6 teams in B grade are still in position to make the semi-finals.

TeleCayman had a good victory over Cayman27 to keep their finals chances alive, and have now caught Digicel in equal 6th position. With only 3 points separating the 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th team, next week’s matches will be vital.
