Like Richard I like squash ,played until 18 mths ago when the knee let go , as a youff I used to lacross , they couldn't get enough volunteers (idiots ) from the brothers Gramma school to make a team so I became a pupil for Saturdays only ! Great game for maiming people, the ball is bloody heavy ,solid rubber and that sure teaches you not to take your eye of it ! and you never, never hit an opponent with the cross (oh yeah ) sometimes the field used to look like the somme on a bad day ,all good fun . I seem to remember that the Canadian Indians started the game and used a solid hickory ball ,that would have been erm ...interesting, Bob.
