| Report: | The Warlingham woefuls, managed a hard fought win against Ashtead in the mid table clash of mediocrity. First at 1, were Tom and Ron. Good grief, Tom gave our tin on court two some real mullering but despite his efforts to compete with the Indonesian badminton players, Ron still needed 13 match balls to get the win. Meanwhile on court one the heavy brigade were battling it out like two bull tuskers fighting over a young cow. In this case the younger tusker just pulled through in the 5th as Glenn made his youthfulness tell in the end. Back on court 2 the third team stand ins were doing battle, with James trying to play squash against Eric who was definitely not playing squash. He never does. He was fiddling and niggling and in 4 sets never once hit the ball to a length, but ran out the winner in 4 as James' legs started to slow up. Finally Ian took on Keith in another 5 set ding dong. Ian used to be sponsored by Pukka Pies and deep fried Mars Bars, but it looks like his change of sponsorship to Trimline and Diet Chef have worked wonders for his speed about the court. Keith on the other hand, our lean mean biking machine, continued to batter balls straight back into his own tiny gut giving away point after point to leave Ian with a win in five. A very close contest all round and the tightest match of the season so far - by some way. |
