Rounders match 16th July

We had arranged for the annual thrashing (sorry that should be Rounders match) between ourselves and Rhyl & District MC to take place on the 16th July at the Salusbury, Tremeirchion.  An early start was arranged for 7.15 to make the most of the light, well you would think organising an outdoor activity for the middle of July would be a safe bet wouldn’t you, oh no, not with our damn summers!

I sat in the office watching the rain bounce off the window from around 1.00 onwards and by 4.00 had decided it was time to phone Baz at Rhyl to see what he thought about alternative options for the evening, we thought if we played rounders we might need a shuttle bus to take all the people with broken bones to Glan Clwyd as it was so slippery underfoot.

A few quick phone calls managed to summon up a Wii, thanks to Stuart Thomas and Rhi & Joe for letting Daddy pinch their games console again! A quick text to Kate Shone for a couple of extra controllers, Rhyl would supply the TV and it was sorted, Rounders match became Wii Tennis tournament for the night, inside in the dry.

Well the game may have changed but with lots of enthusiastic swinging of arms and jumping around from several people we managed to win, the final score being 6-3 to CVMC.  The night was rounded of nicely by the Salisbury providing chip butties for all those concerned and a few drinks.  Thanks to all those who turned up, even those people who bottled out of the tennis and disappeared home early, it really was appreciated.

Let’s hope next year the weather is kinder and we can get back to winning ways outside.
