I'd like to say the plate final was the highlight of the day at Pukerua Bay, but that would be a lie. Brian and I wandered on to court around 10am as a thin scattering of spectators glanced across with vague and passing interest. But Brian's dad graced us with his presence, meaning that for the first time in the tournament we had a supporter!
Spurred on by the occasional faint clap we played a decent match and won the final 9-2. Our opposition were considerably older than ourselves, but we tried to ignore that fact and revelled in our triumph.
Sat around on the grass in the sunshine drinking beer and watching the main finals for the rest of the afternoon. Then came the presentation and our prize was a pair of cordless drills! I really had my heart set on a plate, but the drill was cool too.
