Lets compare our club to Aussie rules. – We are not the AFL but our comp is strong and healthy and good standard — Maybe the VFL ? – So what would happen at a VFL match as teams are warming up .. Would some one with a new footy be allowed to run onto the ground and ask a player to kick their footy to see if it flies nicely ? Or a cricket match ? run out to the pitch while players are warming up so that you can give you new Cricket ball a test run ?
Last night – as players were warming up , we had a visitor purchasing a new bat and needed to try out his new rubber. ZACH offered to help and straight onto court 1 they went where Edward (a former State junior) + Kouros former # 10 in Iran were about to play. No problems says Kouros + he let the 2 guys interrupt his warm up.
The club needs these sales to survive and the rubber did not suit our potential customer – so a new rubber and this time it was Jim who got interrupted – and still the rubber was not suitable so another change and this time it was the Train who had to stop at the station and wait ! -The sale was made matches continued and we had one very happy customer -THANKS GUYS
Pennant wins ! – who is guilty here ? – Lose both matches and disappear without being seen ! or worse still – remind the Manager of how well they are playing but so unlucky in continuing the trend of losing matches !
But win a match and oh ! boy — make sure the wins are noted ! Make sure who ever is behind the counter and within ear shot knows you won! …And wasn’t there a line up last night ! I have not read a single score sheet yet I know – ABDUL – PATTO – DAVE K – JIM – THE VICE PRES – TRAIN – ROCKY – SHEPPO all won matches ! – Was even followed into the car park to be told by Clinton S that he had won both matches ! I now know it is the first time he has won 2 in sec 2 on the same night !
It’s all good and I am not complaining – I do like to know what is going on but the FUNNIEST thing was after being lined up and told who won, maybe one of our Stars did not have such a good night. As he departed from the club John G called out ‘ Bruce … do you need your car washed ? ‘
Check out the “car wash” or should that be “white wash”, or maybe even “demolition” here ….
