Volleyball - monday 3rd Nov
Due to a clash with the ASEAC beach games and the Patong Carnival we had to switch venue to the Paradise Hotel recreation ground on soi SaiNamYen.
A rather scruffy bit of ground, and not easy to find, but i actually rather enjoyed the privacy, without having gawking tourists around. The shrieking and vocal support drew quite a crowd of curious thais from the neighbouring sois. Until the rain became so persistent, that is!
There were 2 matches of 3 sets to qualify for the final.
First up were Team Simon Cabaret vs Team NingNong.
Team NingNong cruised through due to sheer power, but Simon provided some definite glamour:

So, the final was between the horrors of Team NingNong vs Team Jimbo.
By now the rain was stair rods, and i think everybody just wanted to get it over with. Team NingNong powered their way to a 2 set victory, and we all raced off to get changed into dry clothes.
