Match result 16 – 5
To echo Sir Winston Churchill…………who famously said somewhere on mud island………..”we will fight them on the beaches………..we will fight them in the air……………..we will fight them in the trenches…………….we will fight them at CCJ………………but we will NEVER surrender !!!!!!!!”
Quite simply we “The mighty B Span” will never surrender the bragging rights………….not now………and not in the future.……………let me tell you why…………..plain and simple……………….the ruffians are not worthy of such a prestigious accolade.
Well then what happened on the court……………..I remember listening to rugby commentator Gerhard Viviers way back when on the radio, and it was common knowledge that when SA were being given a hiding of note, he could cundger (spelling) up such a story, so much so that anyone listening would have believed that SA were about to win or only lost by a whisker.
Well you might ask………….what is the point……………
It happened…………..the most unlikely result…………..The Ruffians sneaked in by the skin of their teeth………..very very lucky indeed………in fact ………….OK no fact………….we……..that is “The mighty B Span………..just ……… No I can’t say it………..
We should have won……..but……….plagued by injury……….and maybe…………………….let be said………………age………..things didn’t turn out as planned.
Anyway Cappy Pete Filmore played OK but………l*#t narrowly to Captain Bowen
Nick Papa ……….played way beyond his prowess………..and sneaked in against the never say die Big G Gavin Martin.
Mr Fitness Bruce Bydawell outran a ‘round’ Dave Hamilton, and finally…………sad to say…..
Mark van Niekerk had no respect for “our man” GV…………who took the first 2 games quite comfortably………..but then……….lost focus………….or was it………..get me to the church on time………..what am I going to say in my speech at the reception………..and got pipped at the post………………only just.
The scores are immaterial……………..why………….who cares…………
However, the evening was rounded off with splendid dinner in the CCJ snooker room…………our partners joining us.
Match result : 5 - 16
