Robert and I talked about forming a C team to participate in the ssra league ever since I started going down to Flynn. We tried to get more players but were not exactly successful. Eventually, we decided that forming a D team could be more realistic for now.
The supposed deadline for registration was 28 Jan 08.

I was handing out the forms at NEA. The D team only had Raymond, Robert and I. We needed at least one more player. Nasir agreed to move up from the F team, if necessary.

I was finishing up some work and could not go down to Flynn. Chris called around 8:30 pm to say that Flynn could not form a veteran team due to last minute pull-outs. As such, Chris and Joe asked to join the D team.
Yes, of cos!!!

I was reading The Shock Doctrine at Starbucks when I got a call from Anthony. I believe I have met him at the JTC courts before. Last Tuesday, I had asked Kadir to check whether any of the JTC chaps would be keen to play in the D Grade. And Anthony called to say that he had 2 friends who were interested. "Welcome!" I said.
In the end, it turned out to be just one. But what the heck. What more could I ask for.

It was going to be Belinda's birthday. We had not seen her for very long and somehow I felt strongly about asking her out for dinner this year. Ansari called a couple of times, could not get her but eventually she called back. Lauren, her now 13-year old daughter, is going to pick up squash in school. For that reason, Belinda is going to pick up the racket again.
And Belinda is going to join the D team! How cool!

I called SSRA to express my intention of participating in the league and asked for an extension to submit the necessary forms.

I finally faxed the forms over.
My foray back into competitive squash after four and a half years.
