Windscale Squash Club Annual Doubles Competition was played on Friday night and raised funds for local children's charities. The competition was split into 2 divisions with 6 teams in each, the winners and runners up playing off in the semi finals. The 1^st Semi final was between John Crichton and Jake Musson playing Keith Jones and Jim Irving.

Keith and Jim used a front and back strategy, Keith taking the front 2/3 of the court and Jim taking the back 1/3. John and Jake chose to played a 'who's nearest hits it 'strategy. In a very well contested game John and Jake won through to the final by the narrowest of point's margin.

The 2^nd Semi final pitted Club champion Neil Pattinson and Doug Alderton against Colin Roberts and Simon Pugh. Neil took the front of the court with Doug covering the back corners. At 60+ and significantly the weakest of the pair Doug was the obvious 'target' for Colin and Simon but was more than a match returning most of what was aimed at him with some excellent shots. This again was a well contested game Neil and Doug just shading it.

After a short break it was Neil and Doug verses John and Jake in the final.

This started out a very evenly contested final, once again Doug being the target.  As the game wore on the combined fitness of John and Jake enabled them to come home worthy winners.
