Torrisholme BC

• RT @jrwi: Back from the league tourny 'mystery mixed'. It was fun but a stupid 1/4 final loss through lack of concentration will haunt me. #
• Enough work – Now a quiet evening preparing myself physically and mentally for the League Doubles Tournament. Only beer and whisky, no wine. #
• Listening to rousing amplified-guitar music and eating porridge/bananas to get myself in tournament killing mode. #
• Then, I'll get to sit around in a draughty sports hall for hours at a stretch waiting for a court slot #killerkiller #

• Just realised that, apart from the league tournament, my competitive Badminton is over for another season. Saddened. I'll get over it. #

• That wasn't badminton, that was more like being raped by a flock of geese and a bloke with a hammer. #
• RT @jrwi: Price check favour: if you're online, please would you get an online price for a #Yonex Nanospeed 8000? I have no net access! #
• RT @jrwi: £90 in store, if it's about right I'll get it now. Oh, it might have been an 800, or an 8000! #

• A disappointing 'A' team result tonight. Well, I assume so. So annoyed with my own play I forgot to check the final score. #
• 3 out of 6 for me. This is worse because we're looking at promotion and suddenly low-placed Overton field a strong team. Foul I cry! #
• Made the mistake of looking at the league tables – find that our 'A' are tied 2nd in the 2nd with 2 games to go w/last against rivals. #
• That just makes tonight's lousy display more annoying. Plus, I might not make that last match because of work commitments! Frustrated! #
• #YONEX experts: If I was looking to replace my now-ancient Isometric 96 & Carb 20, what are the modern equivalents? Hard to tell in a shop! #

• @AlistairCasey Well, I think our club are going to have to review our "shorts round ankles" policy, as the second game was worse if anything in reply to AlistairCasey #
• Just realised it's obviously birthday day on twitter – so, late in the day Happy Birthday wishes to @Pete_Eaton & @marieiram (no relation) #
• @AlistairCasey I'll bet the new scoring system was an issue for bib-holders! Going to get bibs for next year while we're still on 15 points! in reply to AlistairCasey #
• Still working on my Snapfish calendar, taking as long as the period it covers. #
• RT @YonexCoach: Not sure how to…adjust the speed of a badminton shuttle? Then check out my…blog post (video): http://bit.ly/N35gx #

• 'A' team away against B-L-S 'A' in the cup – After a shaky start (I think 3 games were lost to love) a win by 5 points, with 2 games left. #
• Handicap was: Torrisholme +100, B-L-S -30. #

• Cup week: 'C' and 'D' both had compelling wins tonight at home. Not sure of the score lines but both finished with at least 4 games to play #

• 'A' team home match tonight against Ascension 'B': Freezing cold hall meant the shuttles weren't moving well. Torrisholme win 13-5. #
• Freezing hall was because the heating is broken and, you know, the weather. 'B' were away at Arkholme. Not a nice trip in these conditions. #

• 'A' team got a bit of a kicking away to Bolton-Le-Sands 'B' on Monday, 11-7. Very poor. Excuse: slippy floor, home advantage! Plus good opo! #
• Pity the poor 'C' team, away in another county at a single courter in Ingleton. Veronica still not home yet and out of the house since 18:15 #

I’ve uploaded the pictures I took at The Gatehouse. Take a look here. I’m sure you’ll agree, they’re rubbish.

• Cup week: Our 'A' against Sunnyside 'A' at home tonight. Last game on now, but we know we've won. H'cap:+100, ss -2, g1h pg. Shuttles FAST! #
• Final score: 299-233 Torrisholme. #

• Match result: 'A' home against Storeys 'A' last night – draw; this was slightly better result when we were away earlier in the year. #
• Match result: 'C' at home to Brookhouse 'A' last night – win for Torrisholme, despite the Brookhouse ringer, an over 55s county player. #
• The 'B' team are at Garstang tonight. #

Right. For those coming for the meal on Thursday, and for those who aren’t for that matter, the plan is to meet at The Water Witch for a couple before we wander down to the restaurant.

See you in there from 7pm

• 'A' team are away at Kirkby Lonsdale tonight. Not sure which team, could be b or c. Very quiet here, just this match on… #

• Our 'A' against an injury depleted Overton 'B' at Salt Ayre. A few tough games against their core team, but 13-5 final score. #

• Reports from our 'B' team of effing and jeffing by the opposition out at Ingleton, including use of the foulest word in any sport – fanny. #
• The 'B' team lose at Ingleton, 12-6. Reports by text suggest a win of indeterminate magnitude for the 'D' team. Yay! #

• Club Reminder: The Gatehouse Xmas Meal 2009, only a handful of places remain! http://bit.ly/W2ezx #

• 'A' team away to Ascension 'B' tonight. After a string of limp 10-8s, a 14-4 win despite the obvious home advantage http://twitpic.com/leyxc #

• 'A' team at home to Bolton-le-Sands 'B'. Only one home match, but only 2 down for club night. Good night on the telly? 8-6 to us at mo! #
• Final result for the 'A' v. Bolton-le-Sands 'B tonight: 10-8 T'holme. B-l-S not at full strength though, so they should do well this year! #
• Not sure how the 'D' did against Moor Hospital tonight, will report later. #

• Nearly time for the TBC golf event! Wonder if anyone will win the Ford Ka that Dave managed to get together for the hole-in-one prize… #
• Two home matches tonight. Our C held a strong Storeys B to a draw. The A beat a depleted Hest Bank A 11-7. Should have been better, though. #
