Racketballers home v Hatton (Tue, Jul 27)

Brian Sloan at #1 took on Nick Tinning to make an early getaway and allow Mrs Sloan to make her 8pm netball game. Two down pretty quickly, Brian made a good comeback to take the third on extra points and looked to be about to mess up his wife's plans. However Nick lived up to his forename rather than his surname and took the fourth 15-9.
Paul Dale made his debut at #5 and was picking up the rules as he went along. Sean McMenamy gave him a good match and Paul was getting closer as it sent on, getting to 12 in the third game. A good account of himself considering he hadn't played before.
Ally Ross at #4 lost the first and the second went to extra points (also lost) and he died a bit in the third. Christy played Malcom Mitchell at #2 and had a few comedy moments scrummaging Malcolm out of the way but unfortunately no champagne moments.
Mike Douglas won the first game but by his own admission got bored and faded badly in the middle two games. He made a charge in the fourth and got to 13 but that was that.
Overall 2-15 which is much the same as we got out in Hatton.

So Christy's on the champagne these days. We'd better all watch out.

Champagne- that is rocket fuel compared to Crabbie's.

BTW, when are Watsons entering the racketball league? Can we have a loan of Scotty Thompson for the Colinton match - he plays on the big courts so the UK version should be a cinch ;-)
