In sharp contract to last weeks venue, the courts at our home venue of the Academy were warm. Quite warm. Very warm, Rather hot actually – or am I just out of condition?
Anyhoo, stepping on to the court for the ‘warm’ up I felt the ball was chasing me around the court it was bouncing so much, I couldn’t find a corner to hide in. This game took a lot longer than last weeks drubbing, but the end result was the same – 0-3. One of those days.
Craig lost his first game a startling 0-9, but gathered his wits and battled for a 10-9 win in the second, before succumbing in the 3rd and 4th.
The next three games were pretty much one-sided affairs, David Tom and Stephen closing out their matches fairly easily. All of the games were played in a great spirit, and we returned to the Grange club for our weekly pizza fest. Due to a wedding function we were banished to the committee room which was far enough away from the DJ to make the volume of music just bearable. Old? Me?
The conversation ranged from the luxury of having pineapple on a Pizza when Neil isn’t on the team, skiing in Scotland, sub-aqua diving around the world compared to the delightful visibility under Loch Long, and the dangers of hanging upside down in a dry suit due to pockets of gas trapped in the feet!!! Oh, and the leisurely and relaxing pastime of cycling in towns and cities.
Bill.
