| Report: | My first of 3 visits to Dulwich in the next week which on paper should have been the easiest fixture. But paper means nothing, it's where that little black thing with yellows dots goes that really matters and in tonights case the Dulwich boys put it in a lot more awkward places than the Adams family from Park Langley.
Duncan v Adam the eyeball.
Adam on the road back after a condiderable break due to laser eye surgery.
After watching the way Adam took Duncan to the sword in the first game, DC was already onto the eye clinic stating 'I want the same as he's had please' But Duncan in his usual style gave himself a verbal bashing and slowly made Eyeball do more work. The lack of match fitness showed and the Eyeball eventually went down in 4 while DC was back on the phone telling the eye clinic he was only kidding.
Dave v Div one God
Dave used one of the classic stings to set up God before they went on court. And God being the gullable chap he is fell for it.
'Oh I'm moving tommorrow, my wife will be having a baby in the back of the removal lorry and I am so stressed in anticipation, but I will try and give you a game if you like Andy' God was even more drawn in when he ran through the first game in double quick time. Once suckered, Dave then proceeded to play a very smart game, particulary in the front of the court which took God out of his comfort Zone.
Again another win in four for Dulwich.
Alex v Cyborg
Didn't see any of this one but looking at the score and the feedback from Eyeball it seems Cyborg performed in his usual automated style and run out a comfortable 3 zip winner. I will mention at this point that Cyborg and Captain Carrot Top have been real bricks (that's with a B) for for PL3 at number 5 this season. Almost a banker (again with a B) for us before the matches start.
Matt v The Grim Reaper
The Reaper got off to his usual slow start and in his usual manner again reeled in his opponent but it was a long tortuous affair with both players working very hard for every point. After a punishing 3rd game, Reaper moved into another gear and you could say Matt was well and truely rogered (Hmm dosn't sound great !) in the fourth.
Ian v Debt Collector
So all on this one and it showed with both players giving crappy marker Duncan a rough ride (only joking Dunc') DC took a scappy first but Ian came surging back to take the second easily along with the tip of DC's finger. Not his racket hand so not a problem. Again Ian dominated the third hitting a lot of low crisp winners with DC clinging onto scraps eventually going down 9/6. 4th was a non event with Ian taking a breather but he again went into top gear in the fifth to take a deserved win.
One amusing incident in this game that made me chuckle. Ian got into the habit of launching into chapter and verse every time there was a let called before Duncan had a chance to give a decision. This culminated in a verbal battering from Ian demanding a stroke which he duly got. But this didn't seem to be good enough in Ian's mind and his verbal assult continued. Maybe he thought it was such a bad stroke, it should have been worth 2 or 3 points.
After coming off court I noticed Reapers lovely lady had already had enough of DC's rubbish performance and was getting her head down on the sofa (Er, that dosn't sound good either) Take 2: Reapers lovely lady had got bored and was asleep on the sofa. Phew !
To cap it all, after waiting 2 and half hours to get on court then losing, I'm then confronted with a hang dog expression from Duncan pleading me to do the scores and report because he didn't know the password. Yea no problem Duncan, give me a ball and broom and i'll stick the ball on my nose and show you my performing circus seal act while I stick the broom up my *rse and sweep the floor at the same time !!
Well played to the Dulwich lads, nice grub and good hoasts as always. |
