Match Report provided by: TMS

Score: EPCC 14 - Chemistry 7

Team:

• Alistair (JR) Ewing (1-3)
• Thomas (Why me?) Zurek (3-1)
• Thomas (Ironman) Schreiber (1-3)
• Ana (Goldi) Goldenberg (3-0)
• Andrew Curtis (3-0)

Chemistry 1 was in for a surprise. They fought hard and were bitterly disappointed. EPCC did it again. Can anyone remember the last time we actually lost a game?

• A good coach, certainly, but this term, JR has yet to prove that he deserves to be the EPCC's number one. In an otherwise excellent game, we were missing JR's usual determination. Maybe, he should cut down on these crisps rations?
• Why me gave his opponent a hard time. He killed almost every serve instantaneously. Clearly having the better technique at his command, within a few minutes, he lead 2-0. Of course, we know that for Why me this is the mother of all scores. As one might expect, he irrationally gave away the third set. However, the final score 3-1 indicates that Why me may very well be the future number one.
• For the first time in many years, the Ironman has been humiliated. Not really himself on the court he was stunned to have lost the first set 8-10. Following a tie 1-1, it has to be admitted that the Ironman played unconvincingly, seemingly gasping for breath. A well-deserved victory for Chemistry 1.
• Goldi is back from the hot. Her four weeks training camp in Brazil have prepared her more than adequately for the game. She clinched 3-0 without much sweat and left her opponent in agony trashing his racket after the game. Goldi for President!
• The other team obviously being somewhat overconfident (we used to play in division 2...) didn't even bother to select a fifth player. The EPCC could therefore not test its new secret weapon Andrew Curtis. Instead he chased JR around the court in an extra training slot.
