Well, that's it. Didn't make the team for the last league match. Didn't make the team for ANY league match. My own fault. Due to a diary dilemma I was on holiday when actually selected for the mens over 60's triples team. Didn't realise there was a list where you could flag up weeks you weren't available.
Then, having spotted said list, I flagged myself as unavailable in the wrong week. Result was they were calling me to play when I wasn't around, the following week discounting me 'cause I was showing as on holiday. Added to that the fact I put my home landline as the contact number when we never answer that and the whole thing mounts up to a general cock up of tremendous proportions on my part.
Resigned myself to an adjusted target of making any club league team this year, thus now including the indoor league team. But there's some uncertainty about that. Having been the first to stick my name up for that over a month ago, there's no news despite the first indoor match starting in about three week's time.
Not all gloom and doom though. Geoff has fixed up our club pairs semi final match for next Monday afternoon. Our opponents are Sue and Carol, two really good players from the women's team. Will need to be on better form than I was at this afternoon's roll up session. Bowls were generally in the right direction, a few odd wide bowls. But not enough of those really special shots. Maybe I'm saving them for Monday's match and final's day. Would be so special to get my name up on the club winners board in my first season!
