Hard Work Pays Off For Westside Story

[EDWARDO ROUBLES The New Barrel]

We have all admired his accurate and consistent game and applauded when Westside Story recently reached his life long lofty ambition pf playing in the Eastern Suburbs Elite A1 Sunday morning competition but few would realise the hard work, dedication and hours that Westside put in to make his dreams come true.

"While others have been out drinking up and having a good time I have been on the practice courts doing my time, I have got the blisters and callouses to prove it and they are not from self gratification I can tell you! " said a reflective Westside

"Even at night time before I go to sleep I am mentally rehearsing a number of strategic game plans for various opponents and conditions.

"I once wore out the motor on a ball machine, after 6 hours in the sun I was still ready for more but it collapsed in a smoking heap.

"I don't have the big lefty serve of a Yuppie or the natural good looks of a Abs Of Steel but I have made the best of my Wacker abilities and I am very comfortable where my game is at the moment."

Westide also is a graduate of the renown Tennis Coaching Academy of Raphael Alphabet in Marrickville.

Well done Westside the Wacker community salutes you.

I thoroughly concur with all comments from the "Wine Barrel" especially about my good looks. There have been times whilst playing with West Side that I have had to place my mirror at convenient angles to avoid the glare when West Side throws down his thunderbolt serves. He truly inspires me and his encouragement particularly mid point is heartening and tactically brilliant. I know some players would have struggled to put up with my pedantic ways, eg only play the backhand side - as it is the side I am best photographed. Not Once has West Side said "Take your hand Off It" - in fact quite the opposite, he has given me a hand most times........

Yours in vanity, Abs of Steel. Just going to Wack Off right now............ Thats better.............

Never fear Abs, your roast is coming soon enough!

And no,....... that's not a roast dinner.

To "Wine Barrel" .
I must congratulate you on being a truly humorous man. Reading your reviews is a genuinely enjoyable experience ,although of course not to be rated with the quiet but warm glow one feels when looking across to the backhand court on Sunday mornings and being able to admire the profile of abs of steel straining on yet another diabolical volley.
I was however, a little taken by surprise to discover just how well you know me and my until recently, secret behaviour patterns. I mean, you even noticed the blisters on my left hand.

Well, theres only 9 weeks left to lift the training program so I'm off to look at another ball machine.
Hoping to do the wackers proud and good hitting to all fellow wackers. Remember, to serve is our pleasure.
