the victorious jokers!

at the beginning of the year a couple of mates and I decided to put together a league squash team. we(they) called ourselves(us) the "kelvin jokers" - not quite sure where that name came from, but it was apt as our performance this season is no more impressive than that stupid looking joker in a cheap pack of cards!

but the misery came to an end on wednesday night as the - now mighty - jokers posted there first convincing win of the season over a bunch of pasty skinned UCT math students - there had to be someone in our league we could beat!

we got off to a good start with anthony (#1 and captain) wiping his pipe-cleaner opponent off the court, with some excellent displays of court-craft and tact.

next up was the mighty lister who was obviously rattled by something as he struggled to find his groove but never-the-less perservered till the bitter-end, the bitter-end being posting a loss...

what followed was a "battle-royale" between myself and what looked to be a gold-chain wearing, homophobic sea point local. having lost the week before with the least number of points i was required to don the "pink-pollyshorts", which obviously put him off as he had issues with me touching him to much. after being 2-1 up i let it slip and got the better of me!

last up was larsen, who ambled to an easy victory over his opponent who had just come from vegas where the highlight for him was the "hooters" restaurant where he had picked up a stylin black and orange t-shirt!

after the game the generous students treated us to a whole slice of pizza each and another drink of our choice!

the jokers reign has begun, let the fury begin, watch out 12th league!


neil, me, anthony and justin
