Racketballers at Hatton(Tue May 9)

The famous five made the trip out the A71 in Derek's plush pimp-mobile. Guy Tulloch was on at #5 against Fred, I didn't see it but Guy reckoned Fred was taking it easy and still closed out 3-0. Dean Wood at #4 was up against an eternal running machine Dave. Dave just kept dollying it back and running everything down and to Dean's credit, he stayed in all the long rallies and there were lots. They all ended either with Dave glueing the ball to the wall or Dean tinning it after 50 shots: 0-3.

Dean went on again at #6 and kept improving with some good drops and patience to beat Jim 3-0. Derek played #3 and was unlucky to lose a tight first game, lost heavily in the second and got close for the third again: 0-3.

Jordan Fleming at #2 was up against Malcolm Mitchell who just smacked it low and hard to take it 3-0. Christy Looby smacked it low 'n hard against Nick Tinning, so low that he was the one doing the tinning: 0-3.

Penne pasta 'n chicken served by Fred, followed by flapjacks and choccy-bars. The talk somehow turned to Derek dressed as a tranny, cruising in the pimp-mobile, not a pleasant image.

Classic comment from Guy on the drive home when discussing team performance (or lack of them) so far: "Always remember this is just a stupid game"

Was it just plain pasta for Dean this week?
