2016 ICC Tournament – Over 60’s
This year over 60’s successfully continued their reputation at this event – not necessarily for our badminton skills, but most certainly for enjoying the ‘social’ aspect of the weekend, along with a serious (but friendly) approach to all the matches played, even giving one or two of our opponents a bit of a scare along the way!
Having ‘messed with’ the stats, the heroes of or team were Mike West and Dot Anderson who were our highest scoring male and female players over the weekend, the rest of us mere mortals trailing quite closely behind. The captain’s results were (disappointingly) the least impressive, but I shall lay claim to “shot of the weekend”, which those who saw it must surely agree was a truly wonderful moment!
My thanks as always to a superbly easy-to-manage team, who consistently make my life as simple as possible in a role that is not relished by many – for which I remain extremely grateful.
Here’s to the continued fitness of all our players, in order that we may all complete the season in the same spirit of enjoyment with which it has begun.
Ian Parker (team captain)
