Seniors Inter-Club Competitions – Doing Rather Well…

My Fellow Seniors,

Two of this season’s matches played – a two wins; and by impressive margins.
With fourteen more to go there is still work to be done and for each match we require twelve good men and true to step up to the plate. To those who have done so already we must all be grateful for their commitment and skill.
I have had no trouble to-date finding twelve volunteers but wouldn’t it be good if I could always have one or two “reserves” for those occasions which do occur when circumstances mean that someone has to unexpectedly withdraw. It might also give some of our regulars a chance to take a break, if that is what they want.
So if you are a Senior looking for a taste of good company and competition – and the respect of your peers, watch out for the list for forthcoming matches and just add your name and telephone number.
Don’t concern yourself if you have never played a competition, Seniors or any other, we all started in that position once. You will be welcomed, even feted, and I guarantee that once “blooded” you will be back for more.
When my year as your Captain comes to a close I would be happy to say that we had won every match we played: I would be happier though if I could say that I had played alongside every Member of our Club in one game or match throughout what, in any event, I know is going to be a year for me to remember.
