SCPA Div 4. ABC Hornets v Ship Shapes

Well - The Hornets have now completed all their fixtures for this year. Captain was unable to play on Sunday owing to a Ruby Wedding party in Essex - However an intrepid team of players went off to Fareham to play the Ship Shapes at The Admiral Cunningham ( The Ship is still not suitable for them to play at). From the results list I could see that the Ship Shapes were below us in the league and I had great hopes of a victory over them. However, despite their best efforts the Hornets were only able to win one game losing the match 4 - 1! Not their finest hour! I don't know where that puts us in the league but I suspect pretty near the bottom!

Team on Sunday Was - Chris Marsh playing with Ingrid Richards

Benny & Margaretha Goodman

Kath Stebbing and Sue Ross who were the only winners

Triples were Benny, Margaretha & Ingrid
Chris, Sue and Kath

This will be my final Captain's report as, owing to family pressures, I will be unable to Captain the team next year. However, if the Hornets go into next year's league I will be happy to play when I can under new management!!

The team joined me at my home on Saturday 11th October for a "thank you from me" meal when copious amounts of food and drink were consumed. Unfortunately Tony Riches was unwell and unable to attend - all the more for those who did! They are all stars, some more than others! turning out for matches in all weathers. We have met some really nice people and despite our lowly results, I think we have all gained from the experience. Lots of love to all the Hornets from Carolyn xxx
