Bulls v Booker

The evening started well with me romping the first 9-1 before my legs decided to leg it to the bar whilst the rest of my sorry ass remained on court to endure the humiliation. All my oppo had to do frankly was hit the front wall which (with respect to Matt) he did very competently.
1-3

Meanwhile, The Camel was romping it on the next court, 2 love up and glory bound until he bounded into the wall damaging his right shoulder. Crocked, he had to retire much to his grateful oppo's relief.

2-3

The Pig got hammered by the much improved 'Gorgeous' George. Jo Smalley had arrived to "support and drink for free" but we all knew from the dribble in the corner of her Pinot stained lips that she only had eyes for George. Ian continues to 'man up' manfully; there is much sympathy for the weekly spankings he endures but it is obvious that he's not enjoying the season much; a demoralizing parade; shame as it could have been avoided with some thoughtful tardy squad selection etc/etc...

0-3

The Chicken had had a humdinger of a league game five setter with Dan the night before and we feared that his legs would be gone. He went to five again and was victorious; another notch to his high quality belter of a season.

3-2

Best for last? The Koala (so named because he's cuddly but still essentially a bear) is slumming it at 5, albeit making a long journey back from injury, surgery and general obesity. 

He gave Duncan Disorderly a 2 game lead before reeling him in in a madcap encounter that the Keystone Cops would have been proud of.
3-2

Later, over Lasagna and, erm, bread, our charming barmaid dictated what we were and were not allowed to put on our tab and lovely guest Jo knocked back her 4th gratis large glass whilst regaling us with tales of The Mighty Mighty Bears demolition of Booker last week. 

Entre nous; has anybody ever suggested making it a 'Boys Only' club?

Below are the Pig's brief notes:


If only the Camel hadn't run ran into a wall (literally), we'd have won the match overall. 

In the end we picked up 9pts, which is a good result again Booker.

- Kev battled to a great win, probably being unable to walk today.

- Jim continued a great seasons performance with another win.

- Trev came back from injury and picked up the first game.

- Nigel would have easily won were it not for the aforementioned wall.

- I continued my "taking one for the team" role, although seven times is quite frankly irritating - sorry team.

Next week, Buckingham away (yes I know):

showing varying degrees of commitment for next week's jaunt:
1. pig
2. chicken
3. fox
4. koala
5. gnat (who will need a lift)

is anyone else available if needed/paid?

Nigel, can you keep us informed of your recovery?
