The Final Result Of the Jericho Squash Nomads

I report to you from a downtown internet bar after the award presentation Boat Cruise in stunning Sydney Harbour. After spanking my opponents to get into the finals of the Men's 50-54 C, I found myself getting spanked in the Gold medal round. 11-8, 11-8, 11-6. There's alot to be said for playing an unconventional game...it helps you win Gold...something I have to learn...however...had fun and learned a thing or two.

Rashid's Gold medal game in the men's 55-59 Open was closer...he was on the same court after me and so got to referee. Again, his opponent, Micheal (from Tasmania) played a gritty, slightly unconventional game as well. highly entertaining and lots of long, lung bursting rallies. Eventually Rashid fell in the fourth game. Overall difference across all games combined was only 6 points...11-9, 9-11, 12-10, 11-9. But he still went down...certainly as a proud warrior.

Stacy competing in the women's 45-49 B was the only Nomad to win Gold as a result of a Round Robin that she absolutely dominated in.

Max (women's 35-39 B) played her best, but was unable to overcome the challenges in her category from Argentina and Montreal...however, she certainly wins the award for most stylish outfits...the Uraguayan Team was following her around hoping for a nod of attention from her.

So...we return with two Silvers and one Gold and a whole lot of great memories and stories to share with those who will listen....and the message is...PLAY....HAVE FUN....THAT'S ALL THERE IS!!

Your loyal scribe,
Jay
