Mill Hill thrills,

Just because Tim feels able to take several weeks mid-season break in Thailand doesn’t mean the rest of us Dazzlers haven’t been busy.    Fearlessly entering the Diamonds tournament, competing with teams from across the league’s divisions, took us to Mill Hill early on Saturday morning – although not early enough to make our 9.00 scheduled game, a shame as this was one of the teams we might have beaten.

Still, all but one of our games was close, including an 8-5 defeat to eventual finalists the Mob (3-0 down early in an error-prone first inning, but then matching them all the way).   Both Marks featured well,  M. Coombes pitching tightly, M.Capell powering a home run over the top.

Old foes the Panthers turned up in their breezy new uniforms (err, niiice…), but the Dazzlers still shone, with newcomers Morag and Mel impressing.   Our lack of a dress code made it easy to smuggle in 2 guest players from SPAM in our final match, helping us to a first tournament game victory – 15-10 over … the Panthers!       

So all smiles at the end.  



Happy as that in Ko Samui, Tim?
