We had another 20-0 win, but it
wasn’t against India…
With the team seemingly in
control and a seemingly easy first match, I took a few hours off this morning,
to find out when I re-emerged that the match v India had been a wash out, but
in favour of the South Asians.
A good lesson to learn here,
never underestimate your opponents!
In the second match of the day v
China 2 we started off pretty well, going 20 IMPs up after 4. The Chinese came
back strongly though and prevailed by 13. With this we have lost all the 4
matches against the Chinese teams, make it 5 with the online final. Not a track
record to be proud of.
The third match of the day was a
marginal loss to Germany.
Then the sad news. The Polish
team had made arrangements to leave tomorrow such as to make impossible for
them to play 3 matches. That meant we had to play one more match and the
football was cancelled.
Worse than that, I had to find 4
players willing to play. The kids are now running out of steam, there are very
few flat boards across the field and this very tight schedule is taking a toll.
We improvised a little with
pairing, but that did not stop us from winning 20-0 our last match of the day.
We are now in 2nd
place in the consolation, with two matches to go. Germany have a good lead on
us, but we will try to catch them, if we can.
