Great weekend! Hassan (and Emma) found a great apartment in the 4th arr., 10 minutes ride from the court. Vidal kept everyone awake on Friday night with championship-level snoring.
Saturday qualifiers were fun; 6 groups of 6, with top four from each going through. Sunday was a 24 team double elimination, so the top 8 teams from Saturday got a first game bye (DTGP, toros, lequipe, apologies accepted, zombie, clowns, netto, malice).
There were two courts, a two minute ride between them. Malice only played on the court in the school ground; it was pretty small, comparable to Downham, maybe narrower, with a few steps and things, but it was actually pretty decent to play. I proudly take responsibility for the only window breakage.
It was really nice to see lots of familiar faces and to play some great teams – feels like the standard of play is increasing. There was also lots of chat about who will host the Euros and even the Worlds next year …
L’equipe were pretty incredible, coming back to win the final, twice!
Marc, Luis and Adam, if you see this, thanks for our 4-5 game, it was loads of fun. And Marc (and Luis, and Braley, and everyone who pitched in to help), thanks for organising a great weekend.
