Christy met Garth "the ringer" Wright at 5, and despite pre season training and tournament sharpening went 2-0 down in an awesome display of talent from Garth. Undettered, Christy tightened the length and went error free to salvage the 3rd and 4th, exposing Garth's expensive taste in racket treatment in the process. A long match ended 3-2 to Garth.
Meanwhile the rest of the crew were having an easier time. Having spent the whole while marking Christy, I didn't see these, but new recruit, Ian Forbes at 4 started well winning 3-1 against Bob Baikie. Red hot courts soon had Stokes up to match temperature and tracksuit off by the 2nd game - he beat Mike Halpin 3-0 at 3.
Al beat Stuart Keane 3-1, whose back trouble took the shine of the final game, but still a good match in the early part.
Garth made huge portions of fine chilli. As firey off court as on! Good chat in the Colinton bar. 19 - 7 overall. A great start and good to be back into the season.

Ali G, you omitted Patrick Langley's match with Jamie Davidson, it also took place while you were reffing and it was 3-0 to Patrick. I think Stokesy went 3-2 with Mike H in the end. Or else I can't do sums.
Second that emotion about the chilli, mmmmm yumm.
