Men against boys, tonight. No, literally men -- 40something Andy and Ed -- against boys -- teenage Peter and Matt. Those kids might have the curly hair and the musical skills, but we've got the cunning and the guile. Shock-haired Peter wasn't even born when we started playing in the Ipswich & District Table Tennis League. We remember when this was all fields.

Very good of PC Andy to drop by and double his points tally for the season; he always does well playing this lot. Though his match could easily have gone the other way: heads you win, tails you lose.
