With Flu, Wives and Injury tearing the heart of out the team, we never-the-less continued with our "Kyk Noord, F*k Voort" approach to league this year. But the gods were conspiring against us. Days of rain raised the risk that our touch shots were going to be affected due to the cold damp weather, and "Eks'Dom" tried thier hardest to ruin our march, by turning the @#^@% lights off at the courts.
Not to worry, our worthy opponents offered thier courts at Wits, and off we trundled, fighting the traffic all the way there.....
Our import, George Bowen, nervously approached the court, but then in true George style, played a great game to leave his poor opponent 3-0 down before the snot was wiped clean.
Manie was in one of the best moods seen in a long time. Could it be that his attractive and charming partner was watching ? Deciding that there was a strong argument to rather being outside the court, with her, he quickly punished his opponent to take the game 3-1
Our next import Flippy found the going a bit easier down in the lower leagues, and quick;y raced to a two love lead and was looking strong to getting us home early, but then the horrors of all horrors happened. Being so clearly ahead of his opponent, Flippy went for a easy shot, and tore a muscle down the side of the leg. Limping badly, he put on his tin hat and emulated those fine men that fought in the trenches and tried to battle it out. However, squash is a game best played with two legs, and FLippy eventually succumbed 3-2 to a relieved opponent.
The crowed then bayed for Big George to enter Stage Left. Being in a foul mood, things did not look great, but when George realised that the court was to his liking and there was no pressure as we had won, George raced to a commanding 7-0 lead in the first. He then had an out of body experience and only returned when the score was 7-7. Three shots later and the first game was in the bag. The next were 9-2, 9-1, for a 3-0 win.
So the team is over their shock loss to Suburbs, and is back on track with a 14-4 win.
Match score: 14-4
