Love All Play

Have written a lot about the guys, thought it’s time for the ladies of Marinagar to have their share of reminisces.

Christmas 2009 brought back lots of memories with the married men vs bachelors football and volleyball and the married women vs spinsters throwball matches.

It was great to see Karen, and Ramona Sylvie, Nirmala, Ninette and the other married ladies playing against the youngsters and spinsters. The fact that some of them had their daughters playing against them did not dissuade them or hold them back from the spins, the smashes, the overhead throws and the complicated rotation policy (Z format) which the spinsters could not master through all 3 games played.

The matches were hard fought but in the end it was the experience that triumphed over the younger fitter opponents. The married women winning this years edition.

The current lot of girls are pretty god, Tamara (Evitas daughter) was one who stood out. But they have quite a way to go to match the levels of Lara, Desiree, Christie, Fiona in their age group. Nirmala Sylvie, Germaine, Effie, Cheryl, Yulette in theirs, And Karen, Rodette, Clemy, Maria, Ninette, Annette, Ramona in theirs.

I’m sure that i have missed out some of the very talented players and seek apology now itself for not giving them recognition.

As for the boys; we liked to encourage the girls to play throwball, especially if they started early and finished before we came onto the ground to play volleyball.

But there is one thing that still perplexes us. Why is it that when serving and calling the score, the right leg goes up?

If any of you know, please let me know.

Till then...Service Over, Love All.
