That wasn't badminton, that was more like being raped by a flock of geese and a bloke with a hammer. #
RT @jrwi: Price check favour: if you're online, please would you get an online price for a #Yonex Nanospeed 8000? I have no net access! #
RT @jrwi: £90 in store, if it's about right I'll get it now. Oh, it might have been an 800, or an 8000! #

A disappointing 'A' team result tonight. Well, I assume so. So annoyed with my own play I forgot to check the final score. #
3 out of 6 for me. This is worse because we're looking at promotion and suddenly low-placed Overton field a strong team. Foul I cry! #
Made the mistake of looking at the league tables – find that our 'A' are tied 2nd in the 2nd with 2 games to go w/last against rivals. #
That just makes tonight's lousy display more annoying. Plus, I might not make that last match because of work commitments! Frustrated! #
#YONEX experts: If I was looking to replace my now-ancient Isometric 96 & Carb 20, what are the modern equivalents? Hard to tell in a shop! #

@AlistairCasey Well, I think our club are going to have to review our "shorts round ankles" policy, as the second game was worse if anything in reply to AlistairCasey #
Just realised it's obviously birthday day on twitter – so, late in the day Happy Birthday wishes to @Pete_Eaton & @marieiram (no relation) #
@AlistairCasey I'll bet the new scoring system was an issue for bib-holders! Going to get bibs for next year while we're still on 15 points! in reply to AlistairCasey #
Still working on my Snapfish calendar, taking as long as the period it covers. #

'A' team away against B-L-S 'A' in the cup – After a shaky start (I think 3 games were lost to love) a win by 5 points, with 2 games left. #
Handicap was: Torrisholme +100, B-L-S -30. #

Cup week: 'C' and 'D' both had compelling wins tonight at home. Not sure of the score lines but both finished with at least 4 games to play #

'A' team home match tonight against Ascension 'B': Freezing cold hall meant the shuttles weren't moving well. Torrisholme win 13-5. #
Freezing hall was because the heating is broken and, you know, the weather. 'B' were away at Arkholme. Not a nice trip in these conditions. #

Happy New Year

Happy New Year.

I’ve updated the club calendar with all of the remaining fixtures through to the end of the season. Note that the matches in cup weeks aren’t all known at this stage, obviously.

If there are any errors or omissions be sure to let me know, Rebecca.

'A' team got a bit of a kicking away to Bolton-Le-Sands 'B' on Monday, 11-7. Very poor. Excuse: slippy floor, home advantage! Plus good opo! #
Pity the poor 'C' team, away in another county at a single courter in Ingleton. Veronica still not home yet and out of the house since 18:15 #

I’ve uploaded the pictures I took at The Gatehouse. Take a look here. I’m sure you’ll agree, they’re rubbish.
