The kids are recovering from their bout of hand-foot-mouth disease, although Thomas still has a head cold he developed at the same time, and I won my first round match last night at the Corporate Challenge tournament. It was a tougher match than I’ve ever had in the first round at that tournament. The guy I played against was good, and after the match was over (15-4, 15-4) he commented that he’d played only about 5 games in the last 10 years! My jaw dropped and I said that if that was true he must have been an A- or Open-level player when he played a lot. He confirmed that he was an Open league player when he was “a kid”. I told him to practice a bit, knock the rust off, and come back and kick all our butts next year. I’m sure he could do it.
I have two more matches tonight, and if I win those I’m guaranteed the silver medal at least. I’ll update again afterwards!
