| Report: | As we approach the final throes of the season it was time for some financial housekeeping and El Capitan sent a reminder to all players using his rather innovative Squash Dosh spreadsheet, converted into 'twatbooks' for Si. Why is it that everyone has a computer these days but only the people with Apple ones have to tell you they've "got a Mac".? The nobhead's probably got a Betamax video recorder too!
One good thing about Si though, the kid always shows up on time, unlike the divas higher up in the order. So he kicked things off, opting out of good quality court heating and battling it out with Paul using the coldest ball in the history of team squash. By any measure, this thing bounced like a triple yellow dot. But they didn't care. Si's lobs nestled gently in the back corners while Paul's drops only bothered to bounce once before rolling along the floor. In this game of cat and mouse, Si was definitely the cat. Meow. 1 nil MooToon.
Dan was like pacman on steroids after chopping up a couple of A team players last week, who for their own good shall remain nameless. Tonight by comparison should have been a walk in the park but Gethin had other ideas and made life difficult for the northern wendy house. Dan rode his luck at times and used his elongated limbs to great effect, just about managing to put the game to bed. 2 nil.
Al was called back into the team after his recent warm weather training in Miami. He was giving more Tubs vibes than Crockett tonight as he steadily went about his business in his figure hugging team shirt. Scott's racket skills were mesmerising and Al didn't have a clue where the ball was going to go. No-one did. Thankfully for Al though, the majority of them ended up in the tin, allowing Al to take the game and make it 3 nil to the home side.
8pm and Diva o'clock right? No! In an act of either tactical genius or complete insanity, Dan (the tinkerman) Patterson rested his number 1 for this top of the table clash so it was Tim v Eirian in the string 2 game. This was survival of the fittest. Eirian, usually calm and measured was rattled by the retriever's ability to..... well, retrieve! It was an epic encounter and exactly what the crowd wanted with Erian winning in 5 sets. 3-1 The Bridge.
Every nice cake needs some icing and with the team win in the bag, it was over to Jimmy to put the cherry on top. With the combined shot making ability of these two, Jimmy v Sarah was like the Bake-off final! The Master Chocolatier versus the Maītre Pātissier of Llandaff. We are slowly running out of superlatives for this lad's game so let's just say Jimmy was this week's star baker and he left his opponent with a soggy bottom. A 4-1 win and the league title with 2 fixtures to spare.
We've missed playing Llandaff, who are a great crowd, (Don't retire Geth) and we look forward to more great games after Xmas. And because it was them, we treated them to live music and the best pies in South Central. See you on the other side guys.
As we left the club, a star filled cloudless sky had left the ground treacherously icy. We tried to get in touch with Si to warn him but his Blackberry had no service. |
