Sadly I can no longer refer to the long and stylish losing streak of Brian Clark because it has ended, which for those who struggle to understand, means he won a game! In fact he was star player winning three singles including a hard battle vs Roger Dean.
Great praise goes to me! He He. Earlier in the day, when suffering after a bizarre physio session on my back injury consisting of hot stones, hypnotism and massage from a voluptuous hourglass 49-21-49 torturer,I was going to concede the on/off/on/off/on cup tie. But with amazing fortitude and commitment, I thought Id have a go and show support for Geof Bax and The Watford League. Ha bloody Ha! "tis better to have tried and failed than not try at all" once said the Arsenal manager.
As it happens I won all my sets 11-0. Well almost! Okay..I lie.
It was nice to meet a fellow chatterbox in Mr Bob Wyard, who seemed a bit sad when forced to shut up and actually play some table tennis.
Highlight of the evening was def James playing Abe Jacobs. James, who at his best can thrash the likes of Seaholme and Ogle, seemed content to have practice at walking around and picking up the ball as countless ferocious forehand winners from Abe shot past him. Clearly sensing a great opportunity for ball retrieval practice, James showed astute tactical awareness and continued to 'feed' Abes forehand and thus achieved the desired pick up the ball practice. A very entertaining and watchable game which myself and Brian will delight in reminding James of in the weeks to come.
Eagles just managed to overcome the handicap and won by a mere 19 points.
