Au Revoir Yerevan

What a moving and uniting experience it has been for us all. A landlocked country pummelled by those around it. Surviving because of courage, intellect and strong beliefs. Unclear whether R&R have made it to the quarter or semi finals.. There seems to be an impasse a la Mediterranean chaos... Continue reading

The good news and the bad news

So we won our match against Holland. It was always destined to be having had friendly playoffs and watched the Dutch in action. The bad news is that R&R didn't even have to play. The Dutch were so busy partying that they were not well enough to play (or were... Continue reading

As you may have noticed vile green shiny stuff replaced by moderately more tasteful yet still indestructible clothing. Dead dodgy singlets....

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... Continue reading

Yerevan 1 versus London A tight game resulting in 21:7 and 21: 9. A win for Yerevan. Yerevan 1 are deemed to be the best team in the tournament so we felt the Londoners did well to scrounge as many points as they did. The Georgians and the Germans have... Continue reading

A word on style

Rikki has never been one to spend any time or money on his appearance. For those of you who see him during the work week (whatever that is nowadays), he is in a uniform provided by myself and Beanie: navy trousers, navy sweater, black socks and shoes and whatever shirt... Continue reading

Let me not to the marriage of two minds admit impediment

As it takes two to tango, so too, it takes a partner to complete a beach volleyball team. Rikki found his perfect match close to home. His cousin Nyree, sister of Raffi the UK team organiser (come on keep up, I am only scratching the cousinly surface here) is married... Continue reading
