A Frosty Morning Is No Match For Our 6th Team!
It was December 7th 2008, a cold and frosty morning, the courts were iced over meaning vital matches could not be played, it looked like certain disaster. BUT there were 2 men that couldn't be deterred - 6th team Captain Dave Tallis and his trusty minion Richard Embry. They racked their brains together for several seconds when Embry came up with a brain wave - arming himself with only a KETTLE and a BIN BAG he set about defrosting the courts single-handedly, soon inspired others would follow, as can be seen (thanks to Richmond's captain for the photos).
