I was captain of the day for this event. Mr. Sampol brought a big contingent of 24 tennis players and 16 supporters from Trang. They had a good range of players from some 24 year old youngsters that managed to beat our Luke and Danny to some still spry 70+ year old players that gave our Huntu and Toshima-san a good game. They enjoyed the tennis so much, they continued to play friendly matches almost until dinner time.
We wish to say a special word of thanks to our Mr. Tan Kok Pooh for donating one barrel of beer... and to our Captain, Mr. Loo Choo Teng, who donated the next barrel... and to Koay Theam Hock , Ooi Soon Hong and (me!) for donating the third barrel or balance thereof...
As you can see from that list...we had a LOT of beer.... and good food!
Members from both clubs really enjoyed themselves after the matches..with lots of food, beer and karaoke... I enjoyed having my speech translated to Thai by Mr. Andre Agassi
and there was and exchange of beautiful souvenirs, each reflecting icons from the two respective clubs... our PSC cannon and dugong carvings from Trang
Many folks have asked me where Trang is...
as you can see from this map... Trang Province is halfway between Hat Yai and Krabi... Trang town is inland on the road that runs north to south between Krabi and Satun... We're looking forward to visiting Trang and play tennis against the Trang Tennis Club next year.... or next week!
