Tennis club stars rattled by weather
Magdalen Park Vth Team crashed out of the Surrey league knockout tournament to South Croydon ii. Paulo Schmetzer and Roger Willcocks were particulary tormented by sunshine, niggled by a pleasant southerly breeze and made generally to sweat by conditions described as "warm" by metrologists. "Wind, rain and hail are our natural elements," railed Willcocks. "How can finely honed games like ours be expected to deal with weather like this? It's just not cricket."

Schmetzer's quiet hispanic cursings were not discreetly disseminated into the winds as they normally are in the Vth teams native habitat.
