First up was Phillip CL v Neal Gibbons – Neal is like a the junior in this team being still in his forties. Phillip huffed and puffed but complained that the ball/court was too hot and his cross court flicks and drops rarely worked. A close first game was followed by 9-1 and 9-2 and Phillip lost 3-0.
Antti v Mick O’Sullivan – Antti goes from strength to strength and Mick soon realised that Antti was too strong and quick against his aging body and a smaller bag of tricks than years gone by. Mick was beaten for 9 points. 3-0 Antti.
Gazza v Chris Jordan – Unfortunately for Chris his hip and groin gave him more trouble than dinner at Downing Street and Chris amassed 4 points to godown 3-0. I then played Antti in a best of three.
Neil v Rob Ballingall – I was playing at the same time but Neil having turned up an hour late and therefore skilfully missed marking either of the first 2 matches rushed onto the first empty court leaving Chris and I opened mouthed at the sheer audacity of it all! Neil fresh from reading Dirty’s autobiography “I do it my way” is surely a shoe in for the next Club Captain! Neil allowed Rob 8 points and won 3-0
Chris v Peter Smith – I didn’t see much of this but our Chris is having his Gazza and Dirty share of injuries of late. Pete, wearing those long ankle length shorts and a white jumper tucked into them managed to snuff out a muted Chris whose foot injury was giving him jip.Chris lost 3-0.
So a 3-2 win and 13-6 in points and next week we take to the road against The Bulls.
Gazza can’t wait for Trevor, sans Bob mais je vais gagner, on verra!
