Wed 2.12.09 . Old Town Hounds 4 — Popps A 5

2 wins each from Derek and Peter and 1 from John helped us to a narrow victory, despite the fact that they had a “ringer” playing for them from their first team. A return to winning ways was very welcome and caused some singing in the choirs whilst Terry absented himself but performed with the chorus . ( Fact, Terry really is a songbird !! )
Good to see Derek getting back towards his old self after injury.

Mon 7.12.09. Doubles Handicap Plate . Popps A 462 — Panthers 378

To win by 84 points was a great achievement against a first division team, notwithstanding the “few” points start we had. Terry A and John T made an excellent doubles combination and amassed over 30 points in 2 of their games, John matching Terry with a super defensive performance. Peter managed to upset their equilibriums with some naughty (cheating ?? !! ) claims over his misplaced serves. Isn’t all fair in love, war and ping pong ?
Anyway , it worked and with the “few” points start we won every game.

Boast while we can because next week we meet the mighty Lions and after that match we might come home feeling a little “Cowed” !!
