Back in the day in interschool sports, a similar game was just called bat tennis *shrugs*

You had a fair idea of what you were playing!

Sad that he couldn't get a gig somewhere else for a year or two, thought one of the less experienced clubs could have used him. Wonder if he would consider playing a year at Footscray...

A friend of mine has started the first National Pickleball League in Australia, and it seems to be gaining traction pretty quickly.

I reckon you could couple it with four square and heaps of people would love it.

Back in the day (mid to late eighties) bat tennis and rounders were great. Making girls wear bloomers for primary school PE was a bit off though.

He played some excellent football for us, some of his attack on the high ball was maniacal. Unfortunately as he got older his confidence and pace left him, exposing him to recklessness without the footy when trying to catch up and kicks down the line because he didn't have the apricots to move it quick and short.

Kept himself in good nick though and was mostly available to step into the senior side in the latter years if needed, and it meant he got chances to show whether he was still good enough. He hasn't left anything out there and has had a decent career.

Seems a good bloke and clubman too. Nothing but respect from me.

So it's named after the college it was invented at.

We used to play it at Kingsville primary. One day all the flour leaked out of the silo at Cain's Bakery in Somerville road and we all looked like ghosts.
