Weak 1 - All Around

DOES IT SEEM EARLY TO YOU?

FALL RIVER TO START
First and foremost we need to welcome the newest B-Teamer (Not a Blue nor Red - because we only have 1 B team this year) Slammin Sam Sylvester a/k/a Triple S or S Cubed. Welcome to the squad. We're happy you joined us and you will be happy you joined us too. Our plan is to have a lot of fun and win every match this season. Doable!

There's no place I'd rather start the season (24 weeks by the way)than in FALL FREEKIN RIVER. The court is a pleasure to play on, the showers are tremendous and there's no better chiropractic care anywhere.

MATCH 1 - HADLEAN v. DIRK THE FRENCH IRISHMAN

I came in late for this one. Hadlean was clearly not in mid-season form. There was no appreciable lean. The pace of play was a bit slower than normal and the shots were not as crisp as we tend to expect from LEANER. It went 4 games and it appeared Hads was gearing for a comeback but it never fully materialized. (1-3)

A "brief" conversation in the locker room with Dirk revealed his proclivity for dressing "French" after his squash match. One just couldn't help but notice the pastey white skin slipping into the Carhout work pants. That's a bit rough.

MATCH 2 - JENKS V. BULLARD - The Mutual Admiration Society Match

Bullard was true to form. Yapping before the ball was first served. Coincidently Peter had on his approprate "Blowhard" t-shirt. For an old guy he will make you work for points. Lots of nasty reverse boasts, high lobs and misdirections. All the talk started to get into Jenks head.

Jenks started to settle down and soon realized that a rally lasting more than 3 or 4 shots was to his advantage. It was apparent Peter had a fantastic Summer with plenty of golf, tennis, yard work and beach time (His first week of squash season tummy was well tanned).

Jenks attempted to get into Peter's head by calling him "Sir" and chatted him hup a bit. It didn't work; it only gave Peter more of a breather (which he desperately needed). Nevertheless Jenks did a nice job, held on tight and closed appropriately. (3-1)

MATCH 3 - Capt M. v. Tenney

Tenney was breathing hard early. He threw in a couple Hadlean immitations and with a couple of extended rallys he started making some unforced errors. It felt good to get the first one out of the way. (3-0)

MAKE-Up Matches

Both matches should be a pleasure to see for various reasons.

Nina v. B. Hads - Now that is a complete contrast in all respects

Triple S. v. Chiro - S Cubed will love that match. You really need to experience it on your own to fully appreciate it. Good luck.

SURPRISE!

Riley showed up for our match in FR. It was nice seeing him there.

Food After - There is a prior post on this Blog indicating we should never go to the 99 again - for good reason.
