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
