This match report will last about as long as the games did on Wednesday evening. We were up against an Edenvale side weakened by ailment and shortage of players.
No. 4 Steph vs Aruna: Steph was up first and must have been in a hurry because he only dropped 7 points in wrapping the match up. Steph’s explanation was that he expected a tough Master’s game the next evening and had to preserve his strength. 3-0 to Steph.
No. 1 Phil A vs ?? (Dean, I think): Didn’t see this game, but am told that Phil played very well against a 16-odd year old letting his opponent make the mistakes. Probably the only one of the Edenvale team who put up a good fight, but Phil was on top form and took the match 3-1.
No. 3 Nigel vs Andre: Despite almost allowing Andre to take the first game, the rest of the match was a formality and it was 3-0 to me.
No. 2 Lyal vs Christine: Christine was a little under the weather and struggled to get around the court. This was just what Lyal needed and sent the ball to all corners of the court with some good lobs and signature drops. A short match went to Lyal 3-0.
It was all over by 8pm, so we moved on to Picoballa’s to solve the problems of the nation. And drink some beer.
Final result 16-1
