AIR-IT half-way PSL report The playoffs are still on the cards for Air-IT Nottingham at the half way stage of PSL with the team currently sitting in 3rd position and only 1 point off the playoff’s it will be all to play for in the second half, below are some of the highlights from this year’s PSL so far… The first highlight came before the season even started with the unveiling of the best show courts in the country with our new player sponsors banners, electronic scoreboard and big screen! The first match of the season was a sell-out with Nottingham Squash Club packed for a clash between the newly formed Air-IT Nottingham side and league new comers and potential threats Coolhurst. The match was tight all the way with Chris Fuller winning the decider 3-2 against Adam Auckland! Junior Coaching has taken place before every game with the PSL players taking part and has been another great success of the season so far. We have had lots of juniors turning up to every session and the feedback from both parents and pupils has been very positive. Hopefully we are in the process of training up our next generation of PSL players! Away at Chapel A: It was always going to be a tough ask away at the side with one of the biggest budgets in the league but Air-IT Nottingham put up a tremendous fight with Emma Beddoes coming within 2 points of defeating World No.2 Jenny Duncalf before Eddie Charlton did one better defeating World Top 25 player Chris Simpson! Match of the season: With the match on the line against Birmingham at home it all came down to the number 1’s to decide the fixture. The World Rankings were set against Clyne – he at 31 and Pilley at 16, but someone had forgotten to tell Clyne the script and with the crowd screaming for him he finished the last game 11-6! Anyone who was present will not be forgetting that night in a hurry! What a finish 20-0 against Pontefract! With the playoff slot looking far off after the defeat to Duffield the team needed a big win to keep in contention and they did just that, follow this link for the full report in the local paper. nottinghampost/Nottingham-squash-sweep-Premier-play-position/story-20312354-detail/story.html Home vs Away: The team have been consistent so far this season 3 wins at home and 2 defeats away.
