Lost..............not the TV series

or putting another spin on it - we came second.

The ladies this weeks playing Cocks Moore was the Lovely Liz (who got a bit between her teeth), Noel, Grace and Janet.

I think the general consensus was that some games were more enjoyable than others, can't remember all the scores - but there were some decent ones from KBC. The final score was 5-1. Liz and Noel won the only game of the match (Liz really had the bit between her nashers during this game - see photo coming off court). CM not at all HP that they lost this game, or was it because of that smash Liz!!!!!

Jubilee 4 versus Knowle

Yep as Tony has said a dream start to the season. Going 2-0 down in nanoseconds as Tony and Steve gave a startling demonstration of how not to play badminton, it was left to the Chairman (who had been left on the bench for the first two games of the match probably due to his inability to attend pre season training at the Vaults) and the Ladies captain to restore sanity as we dispatched their third pair in 3 games in a way that can only be described as desperate.
Anyway once we were on the scoreboard we rolled the next 6 matches to establish a 6-2 lead at which point Nanette and myself lost the last game as my dodgy hip and Nanette's dodgy calf were responsible. Leaving us with a stunning 6-3 win.
Highlights of the evening - there were three for me. Steve taking longer in the showers after the match than the Ladies (what was that about ??). Tony's opponent refusing to shake hands with him and telling him to grow up. And yes as Tony mentioned the epic 5 minute recount in the pub afterwards by Steve of one of his points where he manfully chased all over the court to retrieve shots and finally with a last gasp effort got back a shot at full stretch - only to have it smashed straight back past him by the opposing lady and lose the point.
See you all Wedneday

Not in the same league......................

as Paul in terms of match reporting - so forgive me.

Game plan for us ladies (Nanette, Liz, Sue and Janet) was to be in and out and home in time for Cracker, Spooks and the finish of an ebay auction.

However, we weren't in and out. Don't know how many games we all played and what the scores were (keeping score is really not my thing) but, the upshot (no pun intended) was that we won the match and we are all still intact!!!!!!!
