7th A League vs. Snot-snivellers

Last match of the season and a home derby! (I better write this up before I forget.)

As is customary we played at CCJ (go figure). Six matches were arranged and eventually everyone pitched up. The 4 matches that count were randomly drawn at the ensuing dinner.

George Bowen, as is also customary, arranged to play early against Pete Fillmore.

Guess what, the result was the usual, Pete won. I don't think George has ever beaten Pete in a home derby.

Paul Fallon faced up against Graham Vermaak and a weary looking Graham succumbed to some good court coverage from Paul.

All square at this stage.

Gary D'Alessandro, famous for his TV ads and occassional brilliant squash shots, was up against Pete Le Roux.

Sadly for the A team, despite some uncharacteristic unforced errors, Pete played a solid match to give the snot snivellers the lead.

But then Mike Hunt went on against Chris van Zyl! Mike found some form (at last) and gave us the only fair and just outcome.

The A team rules!

George  1                              Pete F                   3

Paul F   3                              Graham V            1

Gary D  1                              Pete lR                  3

Mike H  3                              Chris vZ                0




So what about the other matches? I hear you ask. Well, Nic the Greek, who swears he has never lost to a snot sniveller, lost to Diggers (1-3) and Steph lost a closish encounter to Dave H (2-3). So I suppose some might argue that the B team did not have the luck of the draw. Shame.


The pub dinner was attended by most of the participants, with George's heartwarming speech relinquishing Captainship to a stunned looking Gary, being one of the evenings many highlights.


Regards,

Steph.



Match score: 10 - 7
