CLUB CHAMPS -Who was first to arrive ? + an hour early ? Stretch Chilcott who got the times mixed up. Still that’s better than David G who rocked up one day early + who thought that the event might be late finishing as they thought it was a 9pm start time
Kouros came across a problem he had never encountered before. An obstruction on the court. A possum. Sanjay came running form the court reminding the manager it was his duty to ‘save the members’ from being attacked by the vicious animal. But it was too late- as G I Jess ‘Dundee Diep’ had already got the creature in an arm lock and was evicting it from the stadium.
Was this cheating ? Brian B takes a big wind to loop while playing Abdul. Abdul stands tall waiting for the ferocious loop to head over on to his half of the table. Instead it was a gentle slow loop which forced the error.
Paul Fitzy celebrated his return to Show court 2 against 10 year old Ahmed by serving 2 faults in a row followed by an unforced chopping error.
END OF THE DAY -Carnage everywhere in the spectator area .
1 x towel- 6 jumpers- a bat cover- 2 bat cleaners- rubber protectors – bag of snacks- a trophy -all left behind. And we had not even checked the courts !
Quote of the day- Brian Berry when looking at the draw noticed he had drawn Toby then Raymond. Quite good for him at this stages of their career. But the smile went when he discovered it was Toby jnr and Raymond Zhang !
