In prose (and in pose) the man is a literary genius. I know he likes to blow his own trumpet (as well as other things) but I just felt for a change someone else should do it for him. I am impressed how the teams are all keeping to a high standard, in spite of the opposition. Be with you soon. Luv, Peter Good to see the Bard back in print.

As custodian of the morals of the over 50s section, I need to know more about this Wren you had an experience with. We may need to warn future female members, er, about male members.

Sound like you had a good match and all aquitted yourselves well considering that the Citizens are one of the top teams in the division and the most experienced. I'm sure us youngsters we can learn a lot from them! Incidently, a match is made up of 9 sets, each the best of 5 games. At least I think this is the correct terminology. No doubt someone will correct us if not! Thanks for this report Alan.

]]> Comment on Doubles Handicap Competition: 2nd Round POPPS B v Sowerby 3 by Terry http://popptt.org.uk/2009/12/09/doubles-handicap-competition-2nd-round-popps-b-v-sowerby-3/comment-page-1/#comment-374 Terry Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:09:32 +0000 http://popptt.org.uk/?p=616#comment-374 It was indeed a very close match. Sowerby 3 needed an average of just 1 more point per game to clinch it. I must say when their handicap was raised from the 117 intially set by mistake to 198 I thought we would find victory beyond us. I have no idea how the handicaps are calculated, probably a formula that includes the current FTSE 100 index, the preceeding weeks' average temperature and rainfall and a measure from 1 to 10 of how much the handicapper fancies each team captain's mother, dead or alive. Anyway, whatever it is, it works pretty well. It was indeed a very close match. Sowerby 3 needed an average of just 1 more point per game to clinch it.

Words sometimes help in raising moral during defeat and the humour of the author must be an excellent boost to the team!! Persil white shirts are not illegal... if an orange ball is being used! Pedantic, I know! Excellent report. Words sometimes help in raising moral during defeat and the humour of the author must be an excellent boost to the team!!

This is of course a better result than I recorded in the report. Well done us! Terminology: A match is between 2 teams of 3 players and everyone plays everyone else (on the opposing team of course). A match is therefore made up of 9 sets and each set consists of the best of 5 games. I think this is correct but we can check with John or Alan. If Alan is their main coach I shall ask him for pushing lessons to supplement the smashing everything in sight and missing the table lessons I am getting at the moment. Yes, we lost 2 – 7.
