Women’s Interclub. Ding ding round 3 saw Red Stars In Their Eyes doing a nice lil roadie to Upper Hutt. Squash at Upper Hutt
Slight delay leaving town as the girls were briefly distracted by a tiny tank of a staffy who was keen to come as our support dog. As tempting as it was it was not to be.
Arriving with impeccable timing as no ghastly traffic to compete with, we were treated with the grandstand, therefore the best viewing platform while sitting. Talia and Tanya off fiirst, warming the ball up., then whipping, smashing, lobbing to the end. Tanya managed to sneak in a slick W, however Talia put a stop to that carry on, Stars winning in 4.
Sober Dee, literally our sober D next up against one of our fave familiar faces Celeste. Always looking composed and poised on court, C did not let D rattle her, but was not able to win a game. Red Star’s D does C in 3🤔
Now self proclaimed fave CC finally got herself off the couch to participate in some team sports. Pocket rocket Amy showed some promise with some great smashes where it counted, but then hitting the tin or hitting the roof does not count. Watch out for this rising star, but unfortunately this evening also going down in 3. Another Red Star win.
Numero Uno seed Mel was booted to the quarto game of the evening. Her opponent, was possibly Orfi disguised as an innocent small person called Bonnie. We cannot forget, little people will run so under no circumstances should we take them for granted. I guess someone didn’t get this memo, our numero uno going down in 4. Upper Hutt taking this one out.
Red Star getting the overall team win with no calculators or the use of their 11 fingers required.
