Evergreen Doubles Ladder is Back
The Doubles Ladder is now on-line, hosted on the Quick-Draws site. Like the singles ladder on the Gigasport site, players must log-in to record matches. No log-in is required to view the current state of the ladder.
All intra-club doubles matches are valid ladder matches — assuming all the players involved are on the ladder. And, to sweeten the pie, all ladder matches count toward the BC Doubles Rankings — assuming at least one player in each pair is a current Squash BC member, and already has a BC Doubles Ranking.
Lynn Broman and Rick Kochanski have put together a couple of web pages that pretty much tell you everything you need to know.
So check it out, if not already on the ladder, join, and start making your mark in the club doubles rankings!

VDSL 2009–10 Season
Week of October 7th
Hi Doubles Enthusiasts.
Some observations from the October 7th and 8th matches.
Dave Bissell and Mike Kaffka managed a 3-2 win over Gordon Wells and Rip
Peterman. Captain Tooley and Ron Springer didn't quite have it in gear as they
lost to Dave Paterson and Guy Steuart 1-3. Total games unfortunately gave
the 2 bonus points to VRC.
The Gringos had revenge after the opening
week loss. With Brian Gaffney on leave from Broman's Muckers,
teamed up with Paul Austin for a convincing 3-0 win over Bob Rutherford
and George Maddison. George has been going down hill since not renewing
his membership at Evergreen. Ed Berwick, also on leave from the Muckers,
teamed up with newly appointed Captain Will. They downed Charlie Maddison
and Gary Wong 3-1. A nice 8-1 score.
Les Kerluke put together a strong surgical team, taking no chances with
the Fishin' Boys. Les and Tim Hunt posted a 3-1 win over Richard Martin
and Jim Miller. The French guys, Rob Dubois and Kevin Guillotine also
had a 3-1 win over Scott Sibley and the ever steady Les Jamieson. 8-2
to the surgeon.
Tim Martin, still smarting a little from the slow start opening night,
was out for results. Captain Tim teamed up with Doug Buchanan for a 3-1
win over Barry Gifford and his partner. Not sure who that was. I would
guess the ball never cooled down with Andrew Smart teaming up with Scott
Kidd as they scorched Bobby Toor and his partner 3-0.
Tim and his crew now feel better with 8 points on the board.
Gary Bombay had his dream almost come true. What a lucky guy. Playing
for Hollyburn. Playing with Sue Kaffka. Being on court with two more
ladies, Cathy Covernton and Ruth Castellino representing Vancouver Lawn.
Hollyburn won the night. This is where the almost comes in. Sue and
Gary lost in 5. Sue and Gary are also Evergreen members. Neil Johansen
(an ex Evergreener) partnered Dan Allard (one of the big supporters of
the doubles pro events) to shut out the famous Brians from the Lawn, aka
Brian Jagger and Brian Meakin.
I was lucky enough to see some Ladies Doubles League last night. It
looked like an all Evergreen match. In spite of the great gets by Erin
Pope and great hard hitting and being everywhere by Melissa Troll, they
could not handle Diana Hardie and ex Evergreener Nicola Martin.
Week three coming up for both Ladies and Open doubles league.
Open plays on Wednesdays.
Ladies plays on Thursday.
Have a pleasant Thanksgiving weekend.
