Ouch

Was playing in a handicap doubles event at table tennis last night, its held in honour of a chap (Mike Hanley) who did lots of work for the game in this area and i knew him well. He sadly passed away with cancer about 5 years ago and we annually have this event to remember him.

Good turn out with 14 pairs of players competing from our small league, its played over the next 3 weeks with all playing all. Personally with my partner we broke even with two wins and two defeats but to be honest results really don't matter in events like this. Its more about having a good time and remembering an old friend.

Anyway in my first game of the night i went for a big shot, got my timing wrong and smashed my hand right on the corner of the table. My thumb took most of the impact leaving me with a nasty cut and a lot of swelling, its very difficult to grip anything this morning.

Yes "ouch" was close to the word i quoted at the time, it certainly hurt.

On another note its our Club christmas dinner tonight, looking forward to it think there is almost 30 of us going so should be a good atmosphere.
