Chambers 8B played Pirates at home on Wed 17 March:
First up at No 4 was Chris van Zyl. He played Max, the wily old Pirates campaigner. A good performance by Chris in only his second league game. He was always in control of the game and quickly rapped it up 3-0.
Next on was Pete le Roux at No 2, against Andrew, who apologised about the outcome before the game started- “I really haven’t been playing much…” sounded like a Nic Papa comment, but proved to be correct and an easy 3-0 win for Peter.
Digby on at No 3, against a so-called “runner”, but his running didn’t do him any good, the trick is that you have to also hit the ball. Digby rapped it up 3-0 and was disgusted at the weak opposition.
Graham at No 1 probably had the best game of all, but his opponent seemed more concerned about keeping his pants on and in the end it was a comfortable win for Graham.
Unfortunately not the strongest opposition, which took at little away from the satisfaction of a 16-0 overall win. I think the Pirates team also felt a bit disgraced and declined our dinner invitation. So it was dinner for ONE (team) at Doppio’s, joined by team mates Pete Fillmore and Dave Hamilton, who came to support and had a game of their own.
Match result : 16 - 0
