2005 NNJSRA Hardball Squash League Finals

08-MAR-2005 - You had to be a squash junkie to enjoy the hardball finals played last night.

The Montclair Y 1 team (Kopec) overpowered perennial finalist Montclair Y 2 (team Dolan) without losing a game. This year's finals also marked an end to the 3-year championship run enjoyed by the Wayne Y, with both Montclair Y teams knocking out a Wayne Y team in the semi-finals.

In the first match played, Larry Klink took advantage of an injured Lee Wilson and prevailed in 3.

Next was Rich Kopec versus the wily veteran, Tom Dolan, this year's national champion in the 75-80 bracket. Kopec was too quick and strong and even won some points serving to Tom's forehand. Again the score was 3-0.

The last match at position #1 pitted Joe Dolan against Henry Steinglass. (Henry promised that he would join the Montclair Y at his next opportunity.) Dolan, clearly the favorite, hoped to save face for his team. It was not to be. Steinglass stayed in the back of the court and returned all of Joe's rockets, until he had an opportunity to hit a winner,which, as it turned out, was quite often. Final score again 3-0.

After the match all adjourned to The Office, a local ginmill, for celebration or remorse.

Congratulations to both finalists. Hardball lives.
