Mr Moore
Please take your medicine. The likes of myself, Andy McCulloch etc have had to face some of these juniors throughout last season and again at the start of this season and there seems to be a conveyor belt operating which replaces those that have moved on and up with a fresh batch of fresh faces.
Think yourself lucky that you may only have to face the ones that graduate from minor school. I also note that there are quite a few names missing from the junior ranks so far but I sincerely hope to see there names appear on the list of Major entries soon, although one or two might fancy a go in the Challengers.
If you don't know which kids I'm referring too, have a look at my record of games over the last couple of years, where you will find the names of McCusker (Kirsty, I managed to avoid Andrew, so far), Abdulla (twice), Richmond, Underwood, Shafi, Roy, Howie, Wynne and Pannwitz. I've also been fortunate in avoiding all of the Espinosa's so far, others have been less so.
I take solace from the fact that in years to come I can remind one or two of them, before they set out for the Olympiad, that they once lost or drew with me. Actually, looking at it, I don't think any of them have lost to me.
Come on juniors get your names down for the Major.
Robin, if you need advice on how to deal with 5 rounds against juniors, see Andy McCulloch at the Lothians on Saturday. Only 4 more sleeps til Saturday. If you can sleep! (Insert Scary laugh and door creaking closed sound effects) :U
