jimmymelrose: unprecedented victory

I just have to shout this from the rooftops and make no apologies. 

After fourteen years of playing tennis and going out of tournaments in the early rounds, l entered today's one day tournament in good form.

Ten hours and four matches later I pulled off a shock victory in a super tie- break in the final, having beaten three players more highly ranked than me and none ranked below.

My first ever tournament win, as usual played in a red Charlton top. The second match in the first set was a big moment with a tie break win which led me to kiss the badge, something I never do but it just happened. Spectators congratulated me saying that I just wouldn't stop running and digging out lost cause balls and I just replied that if you wear this shirt you have to be prepared to give everything.

The Charlton in France preacher was right in the zone today. F***ing yes! A day to remember.
