Gazza writes:After last week's 4-1 loss to Holmer Green 2 with Chris, Neil, Kevin and all losing but getting 2 points and Bob getting 1 (yes I was the only one to win) I went into last night’s match with an uneasy feeling inside.
As I am injured (again) this report must take on a Headmaster’s tone in order to report the current malaise of the 2nd team. The match got off to a flyer when Duncan Swallow their captain texted me at 5.00pm to tell me that they were only bringing 4 players.
Result!
So I texted my team and told James Wyatt that he wouldn’t be needed. Little did I know that those 3 walkover points would represent 50% of the points we would win.
When I arrived to watch Bob he had already lost 0-3 to Tim Bark Jones getting 12 points and Kev had gone down (again) 2-3 (again). Well I thought Neil is my banker and Chris will beat Frazer who isn’t playing as much as before. Well, I marked Neil’s match and my banker turned into my *anker; he certainly doesn’t desrve a big bonus for “working hard”. Short of length, off balance and finding the tin an unwelcome friend Neil was starngely out of sorts and unable to turn things round. After a tight first game when, as normal, Neil called “One” he then lost the next rally. What are the stats on Neil’s “One” in terms of win/loss? Neil got 4 points in each of the next 2 games losing 0-3.
Chris started playing Frazer whilst I was marking Neil’s match but inbetween games I saw that Chris had lost the first 0-9. He did better in the 2ndgoing down 3-9 and went on to take the 3rd before losing the 4th 3-9. Chris lost 1-3 and did tell me he was still not injury free. So we lost 1-4 – thank you BSRC for the walkover points, we needed them!
I should have known what was to come when I saw Neil, Bob and Kev arrive in Neil’s new car! (Left)Headmaster’s summary
Kev – the losing streak and gut both need to go
Bob- the losing streak and gut both need to go
Neil- please find the animal inside again, is he or she hibernating?
