It's with mixed feelings that this match report is being shared. With delight because our 'B'ombers kept the perfect UCSC victory-run intact by beating SCC last evening at the SLF courts.

With sadness, because yours truly started proceedings hoping for 'blast' from the past against ex-UCSCsian, young Timothy Leong, who is nearly a quarter the age of this old 'B'omber, and was found wanting. Trickery and experience came to nought against a young never-say-die compact human-battery who picked up every drop and drive and returned them with interest. The old warrior's turns were getting increasingly slow and tentativeness crept in. Dropping an error-ridden first game narrowly, I was even holding game point in the 2nd game but failed to close it out, losing 11-13. Then rousing UCSC's hopes ever so breifly when racing to a 3-0 lead in the 3rd and sadly, final game before the persistent and talented SCC youngster romped home 11-6. 

As we enter the second week of our 2010 NSL journey, the roars are getting louder from our league warriors.

Yesterday, I put out an email on the victories registered by our D.E. A.(r) players: A won 2-2 on countback, D won 3-1 and E, resounding 4-0 winners.

The latest to leave opponents in their wake: were the Men's C and once again, the Men's F Team 2.
