Time to play Yerevan 3
An exciting game. First half was tight and exciting with lots of great action from the London team. Second half proved more difficult as the boys lost rhythm. Still we were battling against the odds as Rob rose from his deathbed, having being ill all night with the Armenian equivalent of Delhi belly! Kudos to him for rallying!
Score:
21:13, 21:9
Raffi our team organiser had LONDON t-shirts for the Yerevan team and they reciprocated with baseball hats for the boys. This was followed by friendly matches between R&R and Yerevan 2. Followed by the TV camera men joining in for a game (yes, R&R did beat them). Then the French followed suit. It highlighted the essence of sport: something fun. Many different languages exchanged and borders broken down by the love of the game. In the best of all possible worlds as Pangloss would say.

Hope you feel better soon Rob--and then go on to win some matches!

Rob has made remarkable recovery and out partying tonight...let's hope he conserves some energy for the Holland match tomorrow

sounds as though he did the clever thing and partied just, but not quite, as far as the Dutch!
