Silverdale Claim AD Long Cup

Silverdale Claim AD Long Cup

The 2016 AD Long Cup has been claimed by Silverdale Squash Club after an exciting final day where a count back saw the Silverdale Club edge out the Fraser Park 1 team.

After three full days of squash the Silverdale Squash Club have emerged winners of the AD Long Cup with a countback going down to the wire. The Silverdale Club had played Fraser Park 1 in the final round of pool play and with both teams having won their other ties this was the deciding tie of the tournament. Silverdale managed to claim the wins at the number 2 and 4 spots whilst Fraser Park 1 claimed the wins at the number 1 and 3 spots. This bought the teams to a tie on matches won so it went to games won. This saw both team equal on 7 games each. With each team holding their breath and some clarification from the tournament organisers Silverdale edged the win by 4 points with a 172 points to 168 points.

The other ties saw the final placings with Timaru 1 coming third, the compilation team fourth, Timaru 2 coming fifth and Fraser Park 2 taking out the wooden spoon.

Congratulations to the Timaru Squash Club for a great event.
