GOSHTECH confirmed their promotion to Division One of the Appleby Frodingham Grimsby and District Three-Man League with an emphatic victory away to the Barrow Boys.

The packed gallery at the Barrow club were treated to some good squash and vociferous Goshtech support on their way to an impressive 11-4 win.

The opening pairing saw a much anticipated rematch and ongoing rivalry between Barrow's Mike Smith and Jase Williams of Goshtech and, as in previous meetings, it proved to be a gruelling affair.

The first game saw Smith retrieve everything thrown at him and he used his forehand volley kills to great effect against the Williams' cross-court drive. Always having a couple of points lead, Smith took the game 15-10.

The second game saw Williams play some loose cross-court shots which Smith dispatched in his renowned fashion and he ran out a comfortable 15-7 winner.

The third game saw the inevitable Williams' comeback. With some fine retrieving and good-length lobs he moved Smith around the court and finished off the points when given the opportunity, taking the game 15-7.

The fourth game saw Williams revert to more power shots to vary the tempo of the game. Smith continued to retrieve well, making for rallies that were long and painful. Williams clung on to take the game 15-11.

The decider saw Williams lose a little bit of focus and this was all Smith needed to capitalise. He reverted back to playing how he had done in the first two games, cutting out all loose shots from Williams on both the forehand and backhand. Smith edged a few points in front from the start and, with Williams unable to claw them back, he ended up taking the game 15-9 and the match 3-2.

The second string game saw Steve Foster of Barrow paired against Pat Beasley. The first game saw Beasley take a commanding lead with some deft drop shots and volley drops and run out a comfortable 15-9 winner.

The second game started off in a similar style but Foster found some neat drops and, capitalising on Beasley's lack of concentration, he pulled the game back to 13-13. Beasley then clicked back into gear and took the next two points to take the game 15-13.

The third game saw Beasley switch off totally and Foster capitalised by dominating the tee and winning the points with a combination of cross-court drops and powerful forehand drives to take the game 15-7.

In the fourth game, Foster made some unforced errors to give Beasley the momentum he needed to get back into the match.

Beasley also refound the touch required for his renowned forehand volley drops and he ran out a 15-9 winner and took the match 3-1.

The number one pairing saw Paul Bell take on Daz Atkins of Goshtech. The first game saw Atkins start off well, taking a seven-point lead with some good retrieving and shot selection. The warm court ensured that the rallies were never easy to finish and Bell could not pull back the deficit, with Atkins taking the game 15-7.

The second game followed suit with both players retrieving a lot of lost causes and some good line and length played up and down both forehand and backhand walls.

Atkins again led the game from the start and closed it out 15–9.

The third game was closer with both players neck and neck up to 10-10. Atkins then found a couple of decent forehand drives that ensured he pulled away in the game to take it 15-11 and the match 3-0.
