Thirds @ Dunbar II (Thurs, Nov 13, '08)

Mark Dutton at #4 and fresh from his sojourn to Vietnam got us off to a good start 3-0 against John. Jonathan at #5 was making a match of it but never really in doubt, his opponent had a dodgy tummy and just made it to match ball before running off to the bathroom.
Russell against their #3 who holds a disabled badge, very entertaining with the gallery enjoying the ironic celebrations from their guy every time he won a point. 3-0. Patrick Langley at #2 had a slow start but recovered to take it 3-0 against Graham. Christy was crushing the ball so their number 1 tried to match him, to the extent that he twinged his hamstring. That old ploy works every time. 3-0.
Must have been 20-0 overall?

Talk turned to Bob Nicholson over soup and sarnies, plus Mark recounting the variety of objects that can be transported on a bike in Hanoi. Dunbar seem ready to chop their second team at xmas as they only have 9 players for 2 teams.
