The ODSA’s ranking system, Rankenstein, contains over 46,000 results since Sept 2005. Since that time, 2 individuals have played a total of 80 official matches and have a 40-40 record against each other. These 2 warriors are Brian Eldridge and Jeff Wilson.
These matches include club, ODSA city league and Club Championship matches. This rivalry is a great example of how dynamic the game of squash is. While Jeff has maintained a consistently higher rank than Brian over the course of 10+ years, Brian has won a number of key matches including ODSA Cup wins in 2005 and 2009, a win in the 2015 RA Club Championships Final, and most recently on Sunday Feb 14 2016, a win to tie the career series at 40 matches a piece. In the 80 total matches, Brian has a net gain of 483 rating points, while Jeff has a net loss of 322. Based on these statistics it would be safe to say that Brian is the proverbial thorn in Jeff’s side!
Brian is the current “iron man” of the ODSA, holding the all time season record for matches played with 169 in a single year and plays a grinding style combined with a vast shot selection. Jeff plays an unorthodox style which combines power, deft touch and grit. However, matched up, these 2 styles create the perfect rivalry!
