Hi Slupmi, can't wait to see more. No end-of-season special matches over at your end of the country?
Hi Slupmi, no rest for the wicked. We're not closing for summer, in fact some of us use the summer competition lull to play with/get used to new equipment or to engrain technique changes.
Our season's end (region: Middle) has a cup tournament, in which we're participating. We won it two years ago, reached the final but still gripe about our undeserved defeat there, and are now at the quarterfinal stage with reasonable prospects for the semis (knock on wood).
And as a matter of fact I'm working in the North for a couple of days, and will be visiting a friendly TT club nearby (TTV Vries) hoping I can tag along with today's training. It's not that far away, you might consider joining me there.
I saw your message too late, sorry. And besides, I'm pretty busy in the coming days... Did you enjoy training? Or did you skip the training with all that warmth here in the Netherlands?
By the way, you boys are real cupfighters! When do you guys play the quarterfinal?
Training was great. Turned out this training session happened to be an examination for the trainer. Not really all that suited for +30º, but the focus of that exam was warming up and intense footwork excercises. While training I didn't pay attention, but boy did I need a lot of water to replenish.
We're playing coming friday, our venue. A hot contest is what it will be!
Good luck today. Please let me know which team could handle the heat best, haha!
Still curious... how did the cup match end?
Poorly. We narrowly lost, with me unable to play due to injury - which might have cost us the match.
I'll be going to the final, played tonight, as a spectator. With mixed feelings. Our victor blazed through the semifinal, and is playing the finals against a team that solidly beat our other team. A team with former "eredivisie" players, now at "1ste divisie" level, with both magnificent modern defenders and lightning fast young attackers. I'd have loved to play them.
[Edit after the final: I'd really love to have played that "superstar" team. They got trounced by the team we narrowly lost to...]
Annoying that you are injured... what's wrong? Can you be back at the table soon?
It is my intention to publish a new video next season. When the time comes, I will share the footage on this forum!
Fully recovered? You can use the summer break well for that... have a nice one! See you next season.
top 150 but some of them cannot even serve legally, esp the tall guy xD
